About this map

Perryville and the surrounding Perry County landscape are defined by the winding course of the Fourche LaFave River and the numerous small drainages that feed into the Arkansas River to the north. The area shows a clear transition from the low-lying wetlands and reservoirs like Timberlake Reservoir and S Fouche Site Seven Reservoir to the more prominent elevations of Rose Creek Mtn, Perry Mtn, and the distinctive Fourche Pinnacle.

Genealogists and local historians will find a high density of rural burial sites across the quadrangle, including Stover Cem, Wolfe Cem, and McGhee Cem. The mapping documents the rural infrastructure of central Arkansas, from the small settlements of Ada and Oppelo to the aviation footprint at Brickey Private Airport. Extensive creek networks, such as Flat Cypress Cr and Rocky Cypress Cr, illustrate the complex hydrology of the river valley before the terrain rises into the foothills of the Ouachitas.
