About this map

Lewisville and the nearby settlement of Old Town anchor this 2017 survey of southwestern Arkansas, situated along the line between Hempstead and Lafayette counties. The landscape is defined by a complex network of waterways, including the winding Little Bodcau Cr and several significant man-made or managed water bodies such as Buehler Herndon Lake Number Two and Buehler Herndon Number One Reservoir. These features, along with Meriwether Pond, suggest a history of water management for agriculture or local industry.

Genealogists and local historians can trace several significant burial sites, including the Old Lewisville Cem, Sewell Cem, and Stricklin Cem. Small communities like Piney Grove, Midway, and Baker are connected by a grid of county roads, showing the persistent rural settlement pattern of the region. The map captures a transitional landscape where the small-town infrastructure of Lewisville meets the creek-fed lowlands of the Bodcau basin.
