2014 Map of Gillham

About this map

The town of Gillham serves as the central hub of this Arkansas landscape, situated along the north-south corridor of US Highway 71 and the Kansas City Southern Railway. This modern topographic survey reveals the complex drainage systems of the Ouachita Mountains foothills, where Sycamore Cr and Almond Cr flow eastward through the town and the smaller community of King. To the north, the settlement of Grannis is marked by Grannis Cem and the nearby Aeration Lake. The map illustrates the border between Polk and Sevier counties, a boundary that bisects the rural landscape near Mineral. For genealogists and local historians, the inclusion of numerous remote burial sites, such as Overture Cem and Holly Grove Cem, provides specific coordinates for family research in an area dominated by timberlands and the upper reaches of Gillham Lake.
