About this map

The White River carves a deep path through the Ozark landscape of northern Arkansas, separating the southern reaches of Izard County from Stone County. At the center of this terrain sits Guion, a settlement defined by the river’s bend and the surrounding bluffs. To the north, the topography is punctuated by prominent heights such as Cypert Mtn and Wolf Den Mtn, while the drainage system of Rocky Bayou and its branches like E Rocky Bayou create a complex network of hollows including Wolf Den Hollow and Pentecost Hollow.

Family history is preserved in small upland burial sites like Pratt Cem and McCormick Cem, while Jones Bottom Cem and Lyons Creek Cem are located closer to the water's edge. The small communities of Nasco, Wolquarry, and Myersville follow the river valley and county lines, while Pruitt Island sits as a significant landmark within the river channel itself, illustrating the shifting silt and water levels of the Ozarks.
