2024 Map of Guion

About this map

Guion serves as a central hub for the White River valley along the border of Izard and Stone counties. The landscape is defined by the river’s winding course, which has created agricultural pockets like Jones Bottom and Greasy Bottom, along with the prominent Pruitt Island. Settlement patterns follow the valley floor and the surrounding ridges, with smaller communities such as Nasco to the northwest and Wolquarry and Myersville to the southeast. Family history is anchored in several upland burial grounds, including McCormick Cem, Lyons Creek Cem, and Pratt Cem. The terrain is deeply dissected by numerous hollows and branches, such as Byler Branch and West Rocky Bayou, which feed into the larger river system. This modern survey illustrates how local infrastructure like Guion Rd and various county routes continue to navigate the intricate topography of the Ozark foothills.
