2011 Map of Holland

About this map

Holland and the surrounding Faulkner County countryside are characterized by a network of family-named gaps and hills, where agricultural life persists alongside suburban expansion. The northern portion of the map is defined by the winding course of Tarkington Creek and Prairie Creek, punctuated by small settlements like McGintytown. A high density of family burial grounds, including the Henderson Cemetery and McGinty Cemetery, suggests deep roots in the local community. The landscape is a series of low peaks and passages such as Bailey Mountain, Acklin Gap, and Bass Gap, which historically dictated the flow of travel through this part of the Arkansas foothills. To the east, the terrain rises toward Bayou Mountain and Holland Hill, overlooking the lowlands of Muddy Bayou. The presence of landmarks like Hardin Bridge and the Cow Ford reflects the importance of water crossings in the development of the rural road network connecting these historic communities.
