2024 Map of Falcon

About this map

Falcon and the surrounding piney woods of Southwest Arkansas define this landscape, where the borders of Hempstead, Nevada, Lafayette, and Columbia counties converge. The terrain is characterized by a complex network of waterways, including the meandering Bayou Dorcheat and Bodcau Creek, which feed into the area's wetlands. This recent survey illustrates a rural environment shaped by small-scale settlements and the land divisions of the Public Land Survey System, such as t15s r23w. For local historians and genealogists, the map reveals several family and community burial sites, including Falcon Cem, Clever Springs Cem, and Clark Cem. The transition from the upland reaches near Wilson Lake down to the creek bottoms at Tucker Branch highlights the traditional land-use patterns of the region, where roads like Shiloh Rd connect scattered homesteads near Shiloh.
