2020 Map of Oak Grove

About this map

Old Austin and the neighboring community of Austin anchor the northwestern portion of this Lonoke County landscape, where residential expansion from Cabot meets a countryside still defined by its small settlements and historical markers. The area is notable for its high concentration of local burial grounds, including the Camp Nelson Confederate Cem and the Old Austin Cem, which provide significant touchstones for genealogists tracing early regional families. Moving eastward, the terrain transitions into the creek valleys of Pigeon Roost Cr and the marshy reaches of Wattensaw Bayou. Smaller communities like Sylvania and Oak Grove are situated among a network of rural roads and water features such as Mintons Lake and Lake Lemay, reflecting a land use pattern of dispersed homesteads and small-scale agriculture that persists alongside the growing town of Ward.
