2011 Map of Grange

About this map

Grange and Shelbyville are the primary settlements in this rural Arkansas landscape, situated amidst a dense network of creek branches and family burial grounds. The area is defined by its water system, where Reeds Creek and its many tributaries, including South Prong Reeds Creek and Bold Spring Branch, carve through the terrain. For genealogists, the map is a significant record of local families, documenting eight distinct cemeteries such as Roe Cemetery, Shaver Cemetery, and Rawlings Cemetery scattered near the small crossroads of Aetna. The southern portion of the quadrangle shows the infrastructure of the local timber or forestry era, anchored by the Charlotte Lookout Tower and the Ceder Lake Dam on Cedar Lake. This 2011 survey captures the area's transition into the 21st century while preserving the legacy of the original homesteads and rural community hubs.
