About this map

The Muddy Fork of the Little Missouri River dictates the geography of this rural Arkansas landscape, flowing south through the center of the terrain near the border of Howard Co and Pike Co. The settlement of Newhope anchors the northeastern corner near Sugar Creek, while small communities like Grandfield and Green Plains are connected by a network of local roads including Pleasant Grove Rd and Green Plains Rd.

Genealogists will find a significant distribution of family and community burial grounds, including Antioch Cem, Harmony Cem, and Kesterson Cem. The land is characterized by numerous small watercourses such as Bandy Creek, Panther Creek, and Fallen Creek which descend from local high points like Pine Mtn. The presence of several established cemeteries and dispersed residential settlements suggests a long history of family farming and forestry in this pocket of the Ouachita foothills.
