About this map

The Arkansas River defines the landscape of this region, winding through the borders of Conway, Faulkner, and Perry counties. This 2017 survey details the diverse terrain where the alluvial Portland Bottoms meet the rising elevations of Jefferson Mtn and Toms Mtn. Significant water management is evident in the numerous reservoirs, such as the Ouachita Creek Watershed Site Three Reservoir and the Tupelo Bayou Site One Reservoir, which reflect the area's modern hydraulic infrastructure. Small settlements and local identifiers like Toad Suck, Nogal, and New Dixie provide geographical context for the rural landscape.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by several notable burial grounds, including Salem Cem, Stony Point Cem, and Casey Cem. The mapping of transportation routes, from Co HWY 64 to residential developments like Harris Farm Est, shows the expansion of the Gleason area and its surrounding ridges. Landmarks such as Cantrell Field and the Cadron Ridge offer distinctive points of reference for those tracing family roots or researching land use changes in the Arkansas River Valley.
