About this map

Petit Jean Mtn dominates the southwestern portion of this Arkansas River valley landscape, overlooking a series of dramatic river curves including Linksweilers Bend and Dowdie Bend. The city of Morrilton serves as the primary population center on the eastern edge, showing a well-defined street grid and the Elmwood Cem near its western limits. Moving northwest, the settlements of Kenwood and Blackwell follow the corridor of Highway 64 and the interstate, tracing a path toward the Pope County line.

The hydrology of the region is defined by the Arkansas River and its intricate tributaries, such as Point Remove Creek and the meandering Kuhn Bayou. Local history and genealogy interests are anchored by landmarks like Stouts Point and the Happy Bend Cem in the northern reaches. This 2020 record illustrates the enduring relationship between the river's floodplains and the transportation networks that connect these historic river towns.
