About this map

Fountain Hill sits at the center of this Ashley County landscape, serving as a focal point for a rural network of roads and family-linked landmarks. The terrain is defined by a series of southward-flowing waterways, including Flat Cr, Fountain Cr, and Chemin-A-Haut Cr, which create the natural drainage pattern for the surrounding timber and agricultural lands. Small settlements like Roark and several historic burial grounds provide significant depth for local researchers, tracing the generational footprint of the community.

Genealogists will find particular value in the distribution of cemeteries such as Kirkpatrick Cem, Norris Hill Cem, and Judson Cem. These sites, often located near old thoroughfares like Tassin Rd and Norris Hill Rd, anchor the map with specific points of historical occupancy and family heritage. The grid of the Public Land Survey System provides the underlying structure for these rural holdings, highlighting the enduring spatial organization of this corner of Arkansas.
