About this map

Perryville serves as the focal point of this Central Arkansas landscape, situated where Cedar Creek meets the broader valley floor near the Fourche-LaFave River. The settlement pattern follows a network of rural roads connecting small communities like Ada, Oppelo, and Rehms Corner. Water management is a defining characteristic of the terrain, evidenced by several small reservoirs and dams including the Timberlake Reservoir and Womack Lake. To the north, the Arkansas River meanders through Willow Bend, while prominent elevations like Perry Mountain and the distinct Fourche Pinnacle provide topographic contrast to the river bottoms.

Local history and genealogy are well-preserved through numerous family and community burial grounds, such as Stover Cemetery, Hallett Cemetery, and McGhee Cemetery. The transition from the alluvial plains of the Cypress Creek drainage to the rising hills reflects a landscape shaped by both agriculture and timber. Infrastructure like the Brickey Private Airport and a dense system of county roads, including Ada Valley Rd, illustrates the region's modern development while maintaining its rural character.
