About this map

Parma and Brewer anchor this highland landscape at the intersection of Stone, Van Buren, and Cleburne Counties. The map reveals a deeply dissected terrain characterized by numerous named hollows and ridges, such as Case Hollow, Finch Hollow, and Graham Ridge. These features point to a long history of local naming conventions, often tied to family lineages like Stevens Hollow and Jones Hollow.

Infrastructure like Co RD 18 and Old Brewer Rd N connects these small settlements, while the southern portion of the map shows the expansion of Fairfield Bay and Partain. Evidence of early community life is preserved through labels for the Smart Cem and Davis Cem, providing valuable touchstones for genealogists. The intricate network of seasonal and perennial streams, including Wild Goose Cr and Dry Fork, illustrates the drainage patterns that have shaped the settlement of these Arkansas Ozark foothills.
