About this map

Huntsville serves as the focal point of this Northwest Arkansas landscape, anchored by the Madison County Courthouse and the nearby Huntsville Municipal Airport. The topography is defined by the winding course of War Eagle Creek, which cuts through the Ozark highlands between Carlock Mtn and Big Sandy Mtn. Settlement patterns follow the hollows and creek beds, with small communities like Harmony to the north and Wharton in the southeast connected by a network of county roads such as Co RD 263 and Madison 2340.

Genealogists will find a high density of rural burial sites preserved on this map, including McConnells Chapel Cem, Lower Wharton Creek Cem, and the Sparks Cem within the town limits. The drainage of Wharton Creek and Holman Creek illustrates the complex hydrology that influenced the development of these mountain townships. The map documents the persistent rural character of Madison County, showing how family-named landmarks like Hanney Hollow and Mitchell Branch remain central to the local geography.
