About this map

Havana and its surrounding rural communities in Yell County are defined by the winding course of the Petit Jean River and its numerous tributaries. This survey captures the landscape at a time when the rural settlement pattern remained anchored by family landmarks and small hamlets like Marvinville, Walnut Grove, and Maple Spring. The map is particularly rich in genealogical data, showing the distribution of several local burial grounds including Piney Fork Cemetery, Walker Cemetery, and the Davis Family Cemetery.

Water management and natural drainage shape the terrain, from Jones Lake Dam Number One to the complex network of creeks such as Big Piney Creek, Jack Creek, and Mill Creek. The southern portion of the quadrangle transitioned into forest lands, marked by early 21st-century Forest Service roads like FS 733 RD, while the northern reaches maintain a more open agricultural character connected by a web of county routes including County RD-27 and County RD-500.
