2014 Map of Monticello South

About this map

Monticello anchors the northern edge of this Drew County landscape, where the academic grounds of the Univ of Arkansas at Monticello and the community of College Heights form a distinct residential and institutional hub. The terrain to the south is defined by a dense network of drainage systems, including the meandering paths of Clear Creek and its South Fork, as well as Tenmile Creek and Wolf Creek. These waterways dictate the local geography, carving through the rural sections where small settlements like New Hope sit at the crossroads. Several burial grounds, such as the curiously named Rough and Ready Cemetery and the Union Ridge Cemetery, provide essential touchpoints for genealogical research. The map captures the area as it appeared in the early 21st century, showing the established road grid connecting these long-standing communities to the outlying agricultural and timber lands.
