About this map

Bella Vista and Gravette anchor this recent mapping of northwestern Benton County, capturing a landscape where suburban development meets deep-cut Ozark hollows. The terrain is defined by dramatic topographic features such as Rattlesnake Hollow and Gobblers Knob, while the northern reaches show the winding path of Little Sugar Creek near the community of Caverna. This era of mapping documents the extensive residential street networks and modern infrastructure expanding between the established towns and smaller landing strips like Arkmo Airport.

Genealogists and local historians will find several well-preserved family and community burial grounds, including Keith Cem near the Spavinaw Creek drainage and Miller Cem to the east. The map also records the modern road corridor of the Ar 279 Detour HWY, illustrating how contemporary transportation shifts are reshaping the rural character of areas once defined by landmarks like Gordon Hollow and Hatcher Hollow.
