About this map

The Illinois River cuts through the southern half of this Benton County landscape, where the Ozark plateau transitions into agricultural plains. Near the river, the Ozark National Forest and the Logan Cave National Wildlife Refuge preserve significant natural features, including the notable Logan Spring. To the north, the terrain levels out into the Lindsley Prairie, an area defined by long-standing farming communities and rural settlements like Gallatin and Martin Valley.

Family history is deeply embedded in the land, evidenced by numerous small burial grounds such as Lone Elm Cem, Fairmount Cem, and Martin Cem. Transportation history is marked by river crossings and hollows, from the Fisher Ford Bridge to the curiously named Mallory Xing. The map also captures several local airfields, including Smith Field and Williams Field, serving this rural corner of Northwest Arkansas.
