2014 Map of Mist

About this map

Mist and the surrounding timberlands of Ashley County appear here as a network of rural settlements and family cemeteries defined by the drainage of Bearhouse Cr and its tributaries. The landscape is characterized by a high density of small communities like Berea, Mount Olive, and Promised Land, each anchored by historical burial grounds such as Griswould Cem and Mt Olive Cem. The road system, largely composed of numbered county routes like Ashley 120 Rd and Ashley 61 Rd, follows the subtle rises between watercourses like Griswould Cr and Jackson Cr. This survey captures the enduring rural layout of the region, where naming conventions like Pine Prairie and Stone Lake reflect the local topography and the agricultural and forestry-driven economy that has shaped this part of Arkansas for generations.
