2011 Map of Hamlet

About this map

Lake Conway and its numerous small tributaries dominate the lower elevations of this Faulkner County landscape. The area is characterized by a pattern of small settlements and rural homesteads, with larger communities at Saltillo and Hamlet serving as local anchors. In the northern reaches, the terrain rises toward Berry Gap and Roden Mill Gap, while Cadron Ridge stretches across the northeastern corner, shaping the drainage of Palarm Creek and its various branches. The presence of multiple burial grounds, including Liberty Cemetery, New Liberty Cemetery, and Oak Bowery Cemetery, provides significant data for local history and genealogy. Notable aviation and recreation landmarks such as Poes Airport and Art Pond Landing reflect the mix of private enterprise and outdoor life in this part of central Arkansas. Further south, the landscape levels off as Little Cypress Creek and Panther Creek flow toward the wetlands of Bayou Meto.
