About this map

The University of Arkansas at Monticello anchors the northern portion of this landscape, just south of the main Monticello city limits. This area includes the community of College Heights and reflects a mix of institutional growth and rural residential development along the southern edge of the county seat. The terrain is defined by a dense network of waterways including Tenmile Creek, Wood Creek, and the winding South Fork Clear Creek, which suggests a history of difficult drainage and localized agriculture.

Several historic burial grounds are preserved across the quadrangle, including the distinctively named Rough and Ready Cemetery and Union Ridge Cemetery. Further south, the landscape transitions into more open land and timber tracts, marked by Monticello Farm and a series of creek-side roads like Wilson Mill Rd and Baker Cemetery Rd. These named routes and family-associated landmarks offer valuable data for those tracing the 21st-century footprint of Drew County families.
