About this map

The Nevada County Courthouse anchors the city of Prescott, serving as a focal point for this portion of Southwest Arkansas. This area transitions from the structured street grid of the county seat to the sprawling timber and agricultural lands of the surrounding countryside. Small rural settlements like Arcadia, Midway, and Garlandville are connected by a network of county roads, such as Blevins Rd and Washington Rd, which reflect the long-standing community centers of the region.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across the landscape, including Beards Chapel Cem, Artesian Cem, and Smyrna Cem, indicating decades of family settlement. The terrain is defined by a complex drainage system where Onion Cr, Garland Cr, and Vickers Cr carve through the lowlands. Notable local landmarks like Head Airfield and the waters of Bee Bee Lake offer further points of interest for those tracing the modern footprint of Nevada and Hempstead counties.
