2014 Map of Ione

About this map

The Petit Jean River carves a central path through this terrain along the border of Logan and Scott Counties, where small agricultural settlements and remote homesteads characterize the rural landscape. The map highlights the community of Ione, situated along State Highway 23, alongside other established locales like Lucas and Boothe. This region is a focal point for genealogical research, documenting numerous family and community burial grounds including Bloodsworth Cemetery, Tomlinson Cemetery, and Little Cauthron Cemetery. To the south, the landscape transitions into the protected timberlands of the Ouachita National Forest, marked by elevation changes near Jennings Mountain and Sand Ridge. The network of local roads such as Dizzy Dean Road and Lucas Bottom Road provides a clear view of the area's development patterns and land use in the early 21st century.
