2017 Map of Malvern South

About this map

Malvern and its southern outskirts are defined by the winding course of the Ouachita River and a complex network of small tributaries. This landscape is shaped by the transition from the structured residential grid of the city to the more dispersed settlements of Abco, Perla, and Harp. The map reveals a high concentration of local history markers, including several family and community burial grounds such as Oak Ridge Cem, Ebenezer Cem, and Manning Cem. These sites, along with the Malvern Municipal Airport to the east, suggest a community where long-standing rural roots exist alongside modern infrastructure. Farther south, the terrain becomes more distinct with the drainage basins of Greasy Cr and Tenmile Cr, where smaller locales like Central and Landers are connected by timber roads and local trails, illustrating the enduring relationship between the local population and the wooded Arkansas landscape.
