About this map

Lewisville and the historic Old Town settlement anchor the southern portion of this landscape, situated near the boundary between Hempstead and Lafayette Counties. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Little Bodcau Cr and its various tributaries, including Tucker Br and Thomas Br. This region reflects a complex history of land use, where natural water bodies like Meriwether Pond and man-made reservoirs such as Buehler-Herndon Number One Reservoir coexist with industrial activity.

Evidence of the local energy economy is centered at the Midway Oil and Gas Field near the community of Midway. For genealogists, the map preserves the locations of several burial grounds, including Old Lewisville Cem, Stricklin Cem, and Sewell Cem. These landmarks, along with the network of rural routes like Lafayette 307 Rd, illustrate the enduring settlement patterns of this corner of southwest Arkansas.
