About this map

Pottsville and the eastern edge of Russellville anchor this 2014 survey of the central Arkansas river valley. The landscape is defined by the sweeping curves of the Arkansas River, where historical bends and engineering have created distinctive features like Holla Bend Cutoff, Neelys Bend, and Howells Bend. Large bodies of water such as Winthrop Rockefeller Lake and Galla Cr Wildlife Lake dominate the lowlands, illustrating the complex relationship between the river's natural course and modern water management.

Genealogists and local historians can locate numerous small burial sites throughout the region, including Bethel Cem, Pisgah Cem, and Plott Cem. Small rural communities like Worthen, New Hope, and Carden Bottoms are mapped alongside family-named landmarks like Lake Irvin and Luther Lake. This record of the Pope and Yell County line captures the transition from the developed outskirts of Russellville to the agricultural and wildlife areas south of Carrion Crow Mtn.
