About this map

Fourche LaFave River meanders across the northern reaches of this landscape near Bigelow, carving a wide floodplain marked by oxbows and wetlands such as Winford Brake and Turkey Swamp. This area of central Arkansas shows a distinct transition from the river valley lowlands to the more prominent elevations of Wye Mtn and Holliday Mtn to the south. The settlement pattern is largely clustered around crossroad communities like Wye and Pleasant Valley, with family and community history preserved at the Viney Grove Cem and Wye Cem. Along the southern border, the Maumelle River feeds into the expansive Lake Maumelle, a defining geographic feature of the region. Local aviation is represented by Pearson Field in the northeast, while numerous creeks like Bringle Cr and Caney Creek drain the surrounding slopes.
