2011 Map of Gillham

About this map

Grannis and Gillham anchor this pocket of western Arkansas, where the landscape is defined by the winding waters of the Rolling Fork and the significant impoundment at Gillham Lake. The terrain is deeply carved by a network of drainage systems, including Coon Creek, Carters Creek, and Almond Creek, which dictate the local road patterns and settlement locations. This 2011 survey reveals an area characterized by rural utility and ancestral sites, with numerous burial grounds such as Mineral Cemetery, Overturf Cemetery, and Valley Cemetery scattered across the hills. Industrial footprints are visible through features like the Land Processing Lake Dam and the Gillham Lake Dam, while the presence of Line Rd highlights the transportation corridors that historically connected these communities to the wider region. Smaller locales like Holly Grove, King, and Fairview further illustrate the dispersed residential character of the county during this era.
