About this map

Big Flat and the surrounding borderlands of Baxter and Stone counties define this modern survey of north-central Arkansas. The landscape is characterized by a dense network of ridges and drainages, where small settlements like Landis and Thola are connected by winding local routes such as Searcy 74 Hwy and Searcy 134 Hwy. These communities and their nearby family cemeteries, including Landis Cem and Scribner Cem, reflect the enduring rural settlement patterns of the Ozarks.

Topography dominates the area, with prominent elevations like Buzzard Roost Mtn, Blue Mtn, and Round Mtn overlooking a complex system of creek beds. Waterways such as Big Creek, Bear Cr, and Roasting Ear Cr carve through deep hollows like Wildcat Hollow and Young Hollow. A portion of the Ozark National Forest occupies the northeast corner, preserving the wooded character that has long defined this region.
