2024 Map of Garfield

About this map

Garfield and the neighboring settlements of Gateway and Clantonville anchor this survey of Benton County near the Missouri state line. The landscape is defined by the winding reaches of Beaver Lake, which floods the deep hollows and creek beds in the southeast, including Spider Creek and Beaver Creek. The map shows a transition from the structured preservation of Pea Ridge National Military Park in the west to the deeply dissected terrain of the Ozarks, where numerous family-named peaks like Gentry Mtn and Glasscock Mtn rise above intricate drainage systems. Genealogists will find several small burial grounds across the area, such as Walnut Hill Cem and Bayless Cem, many situated along older routes like Old Highway Rd. The inclusion of the Lost Bridge Village Airport and various residential developments near the lakeshore illustrates the modern evolution of this region from its traditional forest and mountain character.
