About this map

Midway and Arkawana anchor the central and southern reaches of this Baxter County landscape near the border of Missouri and Arkansas. The terrain is defined by a dense network of ridges and watercourses, including Promise Land Ridge and prominent elevations such as Negro Knob and Bald Dave. The hydrography is dominated by the many branches of Pigeon Creek, which carve deep valleys across the quadrangle.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family and community landmarks, including the Oakland Cemetery and the Three Brothers Cemetery. The settlement of Three Brothers appears north of the central valleys, connected by a network of rural routes like Oakland Road and Promise Land Road. This 2020 record illustrates the enduring rural character of the region, where scattered homesteads and local cemeteries remain the primary markers of human settlement amidst the drainage systems of Hutch Creek and Walker Creek.
