About this map

Golden City and the surrounding rural communities of Carolan, Mixon, and Tate define this landscape south of the Petit Jean River. The area is characterized by a high concentration of burial grounds, including the Golden City Cemetery, Hopewell Cemetery, and the Logan Hall Cemetery, which serve as vital points of interest for genealogists tracking early families in this part of Arkansas. The terrain transitions from the lowlands of Earl Prairie to the high ground of Montgomery Mountain and Buck Knob to the south.

Institutional and infrastructure developments are evident at the Arkansas Childrens Colony and through water management features such as the Boy Scouts Lake Dam on Fletcher Creek. The network of country roads, like Old Sanitorium Rd and Boersma Loop, connects isolated homesteads and small settlements, reflecting the mid-20th-century development of Logan County before later modernization altered the agricultural footprint.
