About this map

Russellville serves as the focal point of this survey, where the Arkansas Tech University campus and the County Courthouse anchor the regional hub. The landscape is defined by the expansive Lake Dardanelle and the winding Arkansas River, which separates Russellville from the southern settlement of Dardanelle. Historically significant crossing points like Williamson Ford and the prominent heights of Norristown Mtn and Dardanelle Mtn illustrate the geographical constraints that shaped early transport and settlement patterns in Pope and Yell counties.

Local history is preserved through numerous family and community burial sites, including London Cem, Booher Cem, and Shiloh Williamson Cem. Smaller communities such as London, Norristown, and Shiloh are mapped alongside significant terrain features like Bunker Hill and Wheeler Bend on the Illinois Bayou. The proximity of Mill Creek to the town of London highlights the reliance on local water sources before the modern era of the reservoir system.
