About this map

Nimrod Lake dominates the central landscape of this Yell County region, where the Fourche LaFave River creates a complex network of inlets and backwaters. The settlement patterns follow the winding paths of rural routes, with the small communities of Rover, Wing, and Briggsville serving as local hubs. These three villages maintain their identity through essential landmarks like the Rover Post Office and Briggsville Post Office.

For genealogists and local historians, the map provides precise locations for several burial grounds, including Hunts Chapel Cemetery, Mount Zion Cemetery, and the Tate Family Cemetery. The terrain transitions from the lowlands around Barnhart Creek and Brogan Creek toward the elevation of Long Mountain and the Fourche Mountain Recreation Area, documenting the intersection of managed forest land and traditional Arkansas valley settlements.
