About this map

Mist serves as the central hub of this South Arkansas landscape, where the local road network converges near the banks of Haley Cr. The terrain is defined by a complex system of waterways, including Bearhouse Cr and its tributaries, which create a mosaic of wetlands and drainage patterns across the Ashley County countryside. This 2017 survey reveals a rural settlement pattern anchored by small communities and family-named landmarks like Riley and Berea.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of local burial grounds, such as Mount Olive Cem, Griswould Cem, and Promise Land Cem, which are scattered throughout the township lines. The map also highlights the distinct water features that have likely influenced local land use for generations, from the larger Riley Lake in the northwest to the smaller Stone Lake tucked away near James Stone Rd.
