2020 Map of Grange

About this map

The border between Sharp and Independence Counties bisects this landscape, which is defined by the headwaters of numerous creeks and a dense network of family-named cemeteries. The small communities of Grange and Shelbyville serve as local hubs, connected by a web of rural routes including Shelbyville Rd and Grange Rd. The terrain is deeply etched by the various branches of Reeds Creek, including North Prong and South Prong, which converge as they flow through the central part of the quadrangle. For genealogists and local historians, the sheer number of documented burial sites, such as Roe Cem, Parsley Cem, and Rawlings Cem, offers a detailed map of early family settlement patterns across these rural Arkansas hills. The southern reaches are marked by the winding paths of Devils Fork and Curia Creek near Cedar Grove Cem.
