2017 Map of Monticello South

About this map

The Univ of Arkansas at Monticello serves as a northern anchor for this study of Drew County, where the transition from the city of Monticello to more rural landscapes is clearly defined. Just south of the university, the community of College Heights sits near the headwaters of Clear Creek, which winds southward through the center of the sheet. The landscape is marked by several traditional burial grounds including Rough and Ready Cem, Union Ridge Cem, and Baker Cem, each providing touchpoints for local family history and genealogical research. The drainage pattern is complex, with S Fork Clear Cr and Wolf Creek cutting through the terrain, while historic thoroughfares like Old Troy Rd and Seventh Day Camp Rd trace the paths of earlier regional transit before the modern highway era.
