2024 Map of Hopeville

About this map

Hopeville serves as the central hub of this South Arkansas landscape, where the borders of Dallas, Calhoun, and Ouachita counties converge. The terrain is defined by a dense network of creek systems, including Freeo Creek, Beaver Pond Creek, and Little Champagnolle Creek, which carve through the timbered Lowlands. Small, dispersed settlements like Little Bay, Harlow, and Forrest Bonner are connected by a web of local routes such as State Hwy 274 and State Hwy 205. For genealogists, the map is particularly detailed, preserving the locations of numerous family-named burial grounds including Doherty and Stevenson Cem, Wheelers Cem, and McDonald Cem. The eastern edge is anchored by the community of Thornton, situated near the headwaters of Cooks Creek, reflecting the region's enduring rural character and the importance of localized community centers at the crossroads of county lines.
