2024 Map of Rose Bud

About this map

Rose Bud serves as the central hub of this northern Arkansas landscape, where the intersection of state routes anchors a community surrounded by distinctive family-named terrain. The map reveals a cluster of local history sites, including the Rose Bud Cem and Moon Cem to the northwest, while the Martin Cem sits near the Cleburne County line. The topography is defined by prominent elevations such as Schoolhouse Hill, Gin Mtn, and Starkey Hill, which overlook a network of creek branches like Potter Branch and Blakey Branch. To the south, Hilltop Acres and the community of Hart mark the transition toward Bayou Des Arc. The arrangement of these landmarks, alongside the McDonald's Strip airfield, illustrates the 21st-century evolution of a rural landscape that remains deeply connected to its original land divisions and family lineages.
