About this map

North Fork Cadron Creek winds through a landscape of named ridges and creek bottoms in this early 21st-century survey of Van Buren County. The settlement patterns reflect a rural network anchored by small communities like Morganton, Gravesville, and Fairbanks. Topographic landmarks provide significant local orientation, with Batesville Mountain in the south and White Oak Mountain to the east framing the drainage basins of Scroggins Creek and Linn Creek.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Hardin Cemetery west of the Greasy Valley area, while the placement of Sulphur Springs and Rock House indicates long-standing local landmarks. The intricate network of county roads, such as Black Hill Rd and County Rd-51, connects these disparate points across the varied terrain of Phillips Hill and Negro Hill, illustrating the enduring spatial organization of this Arkansas region.
