2014 Map of Guion

About this map

Guion serves as a central point along the White River, situated at the boundary of Izard Co and Stone Co in northern Arkansas. The landscape is defined by its numerous named hollows and ridges, including Beckman Hollow and Wolf Den Mtn, reflecting a settlement pattern deeply tied to the local topography. Family names and local history are preserved through sites like the McCormick Cem, Pratt Cem, and Jones Bottom Cem, which are scattered throughout the hills. Small communities and rail points like Nasco, Wolquarry, and Myersville connect the river valley to the surrounding uplands. Local landmarks such as Schoolhouse Hollow and Greasy Bottom suggest the historical locations of early rural infrastructure and land use, while water sources like Dugger Spring and Lyons Cr provide the primary drainage for this dissected plateau region.
