About this map

Gentry and Decatur anchor this portion of Benton County, where the agricultural landscape meets the infrastructure of the Kansas City Southern railroad. The terrain is defined by a network of drainage systems, including Little Flint Cr and the waters of Crystal Lake, providing a clear view of the region's physical geography. To the east, Springtown sits near the headwaters of Flint Cr and the notable Big Spring, marking a transition toward more varied topography.

Local history is preserved through the locations of the Gentry Cem, Springtown Cem, and Decatur Cem, which serve as vital points of interest for genealogical research. The presence of Crystal Lake Airport and named hollows like Columbia Hollow and Coon Hollow illustrate the area's mixed land use, from aviation and commerce to the rural homesteads that have long characterized this corner of Arkansas.
