About this map

Plainview serves as the primary hub of activity, where a grid of streets including W Main and N Spring Ave meets the surrounding timberlands and agricultural valleys. The landscape is sharply divided between the northern lowlands, defined by drainage networks like Sully Spring Br and Wilson Slough, and the significant elevations to the south. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the Ouachita National Forest, which encompasses the prominent Fourche Mtn and deep valleys such as Buchanan Hollow.

Family history and local heritage are anchored by small burial grounds such as Barnett Chapel Cem, Sunlight Cem, and Hogan Cem, which are scattered along country roads and forest boundaries. The terrain's natural drainage is captured through numerous creeks, including Peavine Cr and Danville Cr, illustrating the complex water network that has historically shaped movement and settlement in this part of Yell County.
