About this map

Russellville and the winding course of the Arkansas River dominate this landscape, showing the city's western expansion toward the waters of Lake Dardanelle. This 2017 survey details the urban interface between the Arkansas Tech Univ campus and the surrounding natural landmarks, including Norristown Mtn and Bunker Hill. The map serves as a vital record for genealogists, as it identifies numerous burial grounds such as Oakland Cem, Reed Cem, and Old Post, alongside smaller family or community sites like Ball Hill Cem and Mission Cem.

To the west, the settlements of London and Mill Creek appear along the Interstate corridor, while the north is characterized by significant topographical features like Sulphur Mtn and Tucker Mtn. The convergence of Pope Co and Yell Co at the river highlights the importance of the waterway in defining regional boundaries. Residential development is interspersed with landmarks such as Chimney Rock and Wheeler Bend, illustrating the transition from the city center to the shores of the Illinois Bayou and the lake.
