About this map

The town of Prescott serves as the focal point for this Southwest Arkansas landscape, situated where the lowlands meet the rising hills of Nevada County. Settled along the historic corridor of Us-67, the area is defined by a series of small agricultural communities like Arcadia, Midway, and Garlandville. The map reveals a dense network of country roads and creek systems, including Steel Cr and Vickers Cr, which historically dictated the placement of early homesteads and cemeteries.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial grounds, such as Beards Chapel Cem and Smyrna Cem, often located near crossroads or small church sites like Artesian Cem. The presence of Head Airfield and numerous county roads like Hempstead 43 Rd illustrates the transition from traditional river-and-rail dependencies to modern road networks that connect the smaller hamlets of Deanyville and Pleasant Hill to the county seat.
