2014 Map of Prairie Grove

About this map

The Illinois River and its numerous tributaries, including the Muddy Fork and Sulphur Fork, carve a complex landscape of ridges and valleys southwest of Fayetteville. Significant elevations like Mayberry Mtn, Wolf Mtn, and the prominent Pinnacle define the local topography, while water sources such as Big Spring and Living Waters Spring indicate the region's karst-like hydrology. The settlement of Prairie Grove sits at a crossroads of historical significance, supported by smaller communities at Hogeye and Hubbard. Family history is deeply rooted here, evidenced by a high density of rural burial grounds such as Billingsley Cem, Howell Cem, and Parks Cem. Public works and recreation are visible in the footprints of Lake Prairie Grove and Budd Kidd Lake, which supplement the natural flow of the local creek systems.
