About this map

Big Piney Creek and Little Piney Creek dominate the landscape of Johnson County, converging as they flow south toward the Arkansas River valley. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent bluffs and ridges, including Jackson Bluff, Perry Bluff, and Bee Bluff, which overlook the widening water bodies in the southern half of the quadrangle. This 2011 survey captures a rural landscape where industry and heritage coincide, evidenced by the presence of the Knoxville Gas Field and the Ross Gas Field alongside numerous family burial grounds.

Small communities like Knoxville, Lutherville, and Hickeytown serve as anchors for a network of county roads. Genealogists will find an exceptional density of named burial sites, from the Lewis Johnson Family Cemetery to the Saint Pauls Cemetery and Maddin Cemetery. The map detail follows the transition from the upland slopes of Colony Mountain and Lutherville Mountain down to the creek-fed lowlands, illustrating the persistent settlement patterns of this central Arkansas region.
