About this map

Smyrna and the surrounding highlands of the Ozark National Forest are defined by a complex network of deep hollows and timbered ridges at the intersection of Pope, Newton, and Searcy counties. Small settlements like Ben Hur, Raspberry, and Nogo are linked by primitive roads following the high ground of Divide Mountain or the valleys of the Illinois Bayou and the Middle Fork. Genealogists and local historians will find significant data points in the numerous burial grounds and religious sites, including the Old Smyrna Cem, Nogo Cem, and the Smyrna Ch. The landscape is heavily dissected by named drainages such as Falling Water Creek, Cedar Creek, and Raspberry Creek, illustrating the remote and traditional settlement patterns of the Arkansas Ozarks in the mid-1970s. The presence of features like Mill Hollow and Graveyard Hollow speaks to the historical land use and early community landmarks of this interior forest region.
