2024 Map of Piney Grove

About this map

The Little Missouri River snakes across this landscape, defining the northern borders of Hempstead and Nevada counties. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of watercourses, including Antoine River, Buffalo Creek, and Number One Bayou, which feed into the river system. Settlement is sparse, anchored by the community of Piney Grove near the center of the quadrangle and Bowen to the northwest. These small rural centers are connected by a grid of county and farm roads, such as E Farm Rd and Hendrix Farm Rd, reflecting the agricultural nature of the region. Local history and genealogy researchers will find significance in the presence of Elizabeth Cem and Ebenezer Cem, which stand as enduring markers of the families who settled this corner of Arkansas. The map also captures the seasonal hydrology of the area, featuring Suckles Lake and various branches like Dry Branch and Flat Branch.
