About this map

Pea Ridge National Military Park preserves the hallowed ground of a pivotal Civil War engagement, where the terrain around Elkhorn Mtn and Elkhorn Tavern remains largely undeveloped despite the growth of neighboring communities. The map reveals a high density of rural cemeteries and family burial grounds such as Banks Cem, Twelve Corners Cem, and Buttram Cem, which are invaluable for genealogical research in this portion of Benton County.

Modern infrastructure like the Rogers Executive Airport - Carter Field near Rogers and Little Flock contrasts with the winding paths of Little Sugar Creek and Big Sugar Creek. Significant local landmarks, including the Brightwater Bridge near the settlement of Brightwater and the church-associated Tucks Chapel Cem, provide a detailed look at the interface between the region's historic identity and its role as a suburban and transportation hub in the early 21st century.
