2011 Map of Monticello North

About this map

Monticello serves as the focal point of this Drew County landscape, where the town's expanding street grid meets the rural reaches of Southeast Arkansas. The geography is defined by a series of north-south drainage networks including Hungry Run Creek and Lower Cutoff Creek, which thread through timberlands and agricultural fields. Smaller settlements like Rose Hill and Montongo anchor the northern reaches of the quadrangle, connected by an intricate network of county roads such as Plantersville Rd and County Rd 94. For genealogists, the map preserves the locations of several burial grounds, including Oakland Cemetery and the more remote Mount Pleasant Cemetery. The presence of Dura Craft Lake and the nearby Dura Craft Lake Dam highlights local water management and recreation patterns typical of the region's late-twentieth-century development.
