About this map

College Hill and Glenville anchor this 2017 survey of the borderlands between Nevada and Columbia counties. The landscape is defined by the winding drainages of Smackover Cr and its tributaries, including Crooked Cr and Mill Cr. While many of the smaller water bodies are seasonal or creek-fed, larger features like Lake Bradshaw, Dupriest Lake, and Fincher Lake dot the terrain, suggesting a history of local land management and water use.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family or local burial grounds throughout the countryside. From Watts Cem and Tick Hill Cem in the northern sections to Miner Cem and Gatlin Cem further south, these sites provide concrete links to the families who established farms and homesteads along the network of county roads like Columbia Road 64 and Nevada 170 Rd. The map illustrates a rural Arkansas environment where topography and water flow heavily influenced the development of local transport and settlement.
