2020 Map of Leslie

About this map

The Middle Fork Little Red River carves a path through this section of the Ozarks, defining the settlement patterns and transport routes around Leslie. This town serves as a central hub, where Walnut St and Main St meet at the river’s bend. To the south, the settlement of Rumley sits near the border of Searcy and Van Buren Counties, while smaller communities like Noahs and Wileys Cove occupy the surrounding creek valleys. The landscape is characterized by deeply incised hollows and prominent rises such as Brushy Mtn and Blue Mtn. Genealogists will find a high density of rural burial grounds, including Sulphur Springs Cem, Pine Grove Cem, and Baldwin Hill Cem, many of which are located on high ground overlooking the narrow valleys of Cove Cr and Trace Cr.
