2017 Map of Ione

About this map

The Petit Jean River meanders across this landscape, defining the valley between Sand Ridge and Jennings Mtn. This area near the Logan Co Scott Co line is characterized by small, dispersed settlements like Lucas, Ione, and Elm Park. The map reveals a dense network of family and local history markers, including numerous small burial grounds such as Doss Cem, French Prairie Cem, and Little Cauthron Cem. These cemeteries are often located near old roadway intersections, such as where Earl Prairie Rd meets Brown Rd. To the south, the terrain becomes more protected as it enters the Ouachita National Forest, where the topography shifts toward more significant elevations. Landmarks like Lake Takima and Blueberry Hill further ground the geography of this rural Arkansas river valley.
