2020 Map of Patmos

About this map

Patmos and the surrounding rural landscapes of Hempstead County appear here as a patchwork of timberland and small family settlements. This 2020 edition reveals the persistent rural character of southwest Arkansas, where the landscape is defined by its drainages and a dense network of local roads such as Hempstead 120 Rd and State Hwy 355. The map is particularly rich for genealogical research, documenting numerous small burial grounds that dot the countryside, including Patmos Cem, Macedonia Cem, and Huckabee Cem. These sites, along with smaller family plots like Giles Cem and Wise Cem, provide physical anchors for the history of local families near Shover Springs and the community of Coler. The terrain is shaped by the winding paths of Little Bodcau Cr and White Oak Cr, which weave through the lowlands between the scattered farmsteads and wooded tracts.
