2011 Map of Mist

About this map

Mist and Pine Prairie anchor this corner of Ashley County, where the landscape is defined by a dense network of country roads and low-lying watercourses. The territory is marked by small settlements like Riley and Berea, which serve as quiet hubs for the surrounding timberland and agricultural fields. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial grounds across the sheet, including the Mount Olive Cemetery, Central Cemetery, and Promise Land Cemetery near the community of Promised Land. The drainage patterns of Little Bearhouse Creek, Jordan Creek, and Jackson Creek dominate the hydrography, with local water management evident at structures such as Stone Lake Dam and Riley Lake Dam. This map provides a detailed look at the rural infrastructure of southeast Arkansas, tracing the transition from early cross-road settlements to the established township grids of the 21st century.
