About this map

Prairie Grove serves as the primary hub in this Washington County landscape, where the northern foothills of the Boston Mountains begin to rise. The area is defined by a dense network of water sources, including the Illinois River and numerous tributaries like Muddy Fork, Blair Creek, and Sulphur Fork. To the west, the terrain is marked by significant elevations such as North Mayberry Mountain and Wolf Mountain, while Budd Kidd Lake and Lake Prairie Grove provide managed water resources via the Prairie Grove Lake Dam.

Genealogists will find this sheet particularly valuable for its documentation of rural community centers and burial grounds. Small settlements like Hubbard and Hogeye anchor the southern reaches of the map. Numerous family and community landmarks are preserved here, including the New Hope Community Hall and several historic resting places such as Illinois Chapel Cemetery, Rutherford Cemetery, and Howell Cemetery, tracing the early settlement patterns of northwest Arkansas.
