About this map

Mount Vernon and the settlement of Romance anchor this 2020 USGS survey of the central Arkansas landscape, where the border of Faulkner and White Counties divides a terrain of ridges and valleys. The area is defined by its dramatic relief, including the heights of Black Jack Mtn and the long expanse of Cadron Ridge in the south. These topographic features influence the winding paths of local thoroughfares like Blackjack Mountain Rd and Bull Mountain Rd.

Genealogists can locate several historic burial sites, such as Hammons Chapel Cem, Blasingame Cem, and Oliver Cem. The map tracks the drainage of numerous watercourses, including Muddy Bayou and Clifty Cr, flowing through the lowlands between Tucker Bluff and Bull Creek Hill. The southern edge of the quadrangle reaches toward El Paso, providing a detailed view of the rural road network and scattered homesteads that characterize this part of the state.
