About this map

Patmos serves as a focal point for this rural southern Arkansas landscape, situated where local roads converge amidst a network of meandering creeks. The terrain is defined by the drainage systems of Little Bodcau Cr and White Oak Cr, which cut through the low hills of Hempstead County. Small, established communities like Evening Shade and New Hope are scattered throughout the region, often centered around family or community landmarks.

Genealogical interest is particularly high here due to the density of named burial sites, including Patmos Cem, Huckabee Cem, and Macedonia Cem. These locations, along with the former settlement at Coler and the crossing at Shover Springs, reflect a long-standing pattern of dispersed agricultural settlement. The map provides a clear look at the early 21st-century road network, from state routes like Ar-29 S to the numerous Hempstead County roads that connect these quiet interior townships.
