2017 Map of Floral

About this map

Floral sits at the eastern edge of a landscape defined by the intersection of Cleburne, Independence, and White counties. This 2017 survey reveals a terrain of narrow hollows and prominent ridges, where local family names are preserved across the topography and its many small burial grounds. Landmarks like Wideman Mtn, Warren Mtn, and Bailey Mtn punctuate the upland reaches, while Moore Hollow and Sample Hollow trace the drainage paths toward Big Creek. Genealogy researchers will find numerous rural sites of interest, including the Center Chapel Cem and Burns Cem, which are linked by a network of winding county roads and the Heritage Trl. The map illustrates a contemporary rural Arkansas pattern where modern access roads like Warren Mountain Rd follow the same natural contours that dictated the placement of early homesteads and community cemeteries.
