2017 Map of Hindsville

About this map

Hindsville and the smaller settlement of Clifty anchor this Madison County landscape, where the terrain is deeply defined by a network of creeks and named hollows. The winding course of War Eagle Cr and its tributaries, such as Clear Cr and Glade Cr, carve through the Ozark plateau, creating prominent relief at Keefer Mtn and Tater Hill. Local genealogy is well-preserved through several small burial sites, including Martin Cem, Bohannan Cem, and Cannady Cem, which are tucked away near the drainages of Poyner Hollow and Houston Hollow. The road network reflects the difficult topography, with routes like Madison 8200 following the high ridges while others descend into the narrow valleys. This 2017 survey provides a detailed view of a rural Arkansas community where land ownership patterns remain tied to the rugged physical geography of the hollows.
