2011 Map of Old Town

About this map

Old Town sits at the heart of this Lafayette County landscape, where the rural topography is defined by the winding course of Little Bodcau Creek and Bodcau Creek. The area retains a strong connection to its pioneer roots through several historic burial sites, including the Old Lewisville Cemetery and Stricklin Cemetery. To the north, the industrial footprint of the Midway Oil and Gas Field near Midway indicates the region's reliance on natural resource extraction. The southern portion of the quadrangle is characterized by a series of man-made water features, such as Meriwether Pond and Buehler Herndon Lake Number Two, which were created through the construction of dams like the Meriwether Pond Dam. Smaller settlements like Piney Grove and Baker are linked by a network of county roads, including County Rd-103 and Sun Ray Oil Rd, illustrating the persistence of small-town Arkansas communities into the twenty-first century.
