About this map

The Madison County Courthouse serves as the focal point for Huntsville, anchoring a landscape where the Ozark foothills meet the winding path of War Eagle Creek. This contemporary survey illustrates the town's expansion and its relationship with the surrounding terrain, including elevations like Carlock Mtn and Big Sandy Mtn. Outside the main settlement, the area maintains its rural character through small communities such as Harmony and Wharton, connected by a network of Madison County roads.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family-named landmarks and resting places scattered across the hills. Numerous sites, including Carlock Cem, Hawkins Cem, and Mc-Broom Cem, are clearly marked, providing spatial context for local families. The drainage patterns of Wharton Cr and Coon Br define the hollows, such as Hanney Hollow, that have shaped the agricultural and residential development of this part of Arkansas.
