About this map

The White River carves a winding path through this portion of Independence County, defining a landscape of fertile lowlands like Dennison Bottoms and prominent heights such as Eagle Mtn and Qualls Mtn. The settlement of Salado serves as a central point for a network of local roads, including Newport Rd and Allen Chapel Rd, which connect the rural communities of Rosie, Southside, and Maple Springs.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the placement of historic burial grounds, including Sulphur Rock Cem near the town of Sulphur Rock, and the more isolated Macedonia Cem and Wyatt Cem. The river's influence on the geography is evident in features like Wright Island and Padgett Island, while the surrounding terrain is marked by numerous family-named peaks such as Neal Mtn and Uncle Joe Warren Mtn, providing a clear picture of land use and naming conventions in this Arkansas river valley.
