About this map

The Arkansas River winds through this landscape, creating a series of dramatic meanders and cutoffs south of Russellville. The river's historical shifts are visible in features like the Point Bar Cutoff, Howells Bend, and Neelys Bend, illustrating the dynamic nature of this alluvial valley. Settlement is concentrated along the northern hills and the fertile Carden Bottoms to the south.

Genealogists can find several established burial grounds including Bethel Cem, Pisgah Cem, and the Mount Zion Cem near Pottsville. Transport history is represented by the Butterfield Stagecoach Byp, which skirts the lower slopes of Carrion Crow Mtn. Managed natural areas like the Galla Creek Wildlife Lake and the wetlands around Luther Lake occupy the low-lying terrain within the river's various loops, providing a clear picture of the modern balance between agricultural use and conservation.
