About this map

Greenwood serves as the regional anchor of this Sebastian County landscape, centered on the Sebastian County Courthouse Greenwood. The town’s growth is evident in its detailed street grid, while the surrounding countryside reveals a deep history of small settlements and family burials. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent ridges and mountains that run roughly east-west, including Backbone Mtn and the striking Devils Backbone Ridge, which likely influenced the historical path of roads and the isolation of early farmsteads.

Local researchers can trace the locations of numerous historic burial grounds such as Douglass Cem, Gentry Cem, and Pleasant Hill Cem. The map documents the distinct identities of Old Jenny Lind and New Jenny Lind to the north, while the southern reaches transition into the rural communities of Excelsior and Witcherville. Water features like Shadow Lake and Vache Grasse Creek provide further context for the development of these Arkansas communities.
