2014 Map of Oak Grove

About this map

Old Austin and Old Austin Cem serve as focal points for local history in this central Arkansas landscape, where the communities of Ward, Austin, and Sylvania bridge the transition from upland terrain into the Arkansas Delta. The area is notable for its numerous burial grounds, including the Camp Nelson Confederate Cem and the Sylvania Cem, which underscore the region's deep-rooted settlement patterns. Waterways like the meandering Wattensaw Bayou and Locust Cr flow through the southern half of the sheet, shaping the agricultural layout and property lines. Aviation interest is represented by the Ralph Fulmer Field Airport, while the growth of residential areas around Cabot is evident in developments like Whisperwood. The map provides a detailed view of the rural-to-suburban landscape at a time when traditional landmarks like Bell Hill and Smith Mtn remained distinct amidst modern road networks.
