2017 Map of Milo

About this map

The Saline River defines the western edge of this landscape on the boundary of Bradley and Ashley counties, meandering through a low-lying basin marked by oxbow remnants like Black Lake and Clear Lake. This area of southern Arkansas is characterized by its complex hydrology, where several tributaries including Fountain Cr, Beech Cr, and Mill Cr drain toward the river's floodplain. The settlement of Milo serves as a central point for the local road network, while the nearby label for Old Milo suggests an earlier center of habitation to the east. For genealogists and local historians, the map is remarkably dense with burial sites that point to the area's dispersed rural population, featuring several family and community landmarks such as Zion Cem, Egypt Cem, Duckworth Cem, and Walker Cem. The terrain rises at Moffatt Bluff, providing a rare point of elevation overlooking the river valley.
