About this map

The Arkansas River carves a dramatic path through this central Arkansas landscape, creating several prominent meanders including Linksweilers Bend, Dowdie Bend, and Happy Bend. The terrain is dominated by the northern face of Petit Jean Mountain, which rises sharply from the riverbank near Stouts Point. This area serves as a critical junction where the water-level topography of the river valley meets the elevated ridges of the Ozark foothills, reflected in the winding path of Monastery Ridge Rd.

Settlement patterns follow the corridor between the river and the northern uplands, with the city of Morrilton serving as the primary hub. Smaller communities like Blackwell and Kenwood are linked by a dense network of local roads such as Old Wire Rd and Blackwell Rd. Notable local landmarks include the Morrilton Airport and the historic Elmwood Cem, while the confluence of Point Remove Creek and its various forks highlights the complex drainage system feeding into the main river channel.
