2011 Map of Snowball

About this map

The Buffalo River and Calf Creek dominate this landscape in north-central Arkansas, where narrow valleys and steep ridges dictate the placement of roads and small communities. The settlement of Snowball serves as a central point along County Hwy-12, surrounded by a network of hollows such as Blanco Hollow and Whisenant Hollow. This area is characterized by numerous small family or community burial grounds, including Slay Cemetery, Whisenant Cemetery, and McDaniel Cemetery, which provide significant value for genealogical research in Searcy County. To the northeast, the Buffalo River winds through Cash Bend and past White Bluff, while the southern terrain rises toward Granny Mountain. The map details the rural infrastructure just after the first decade of the 2000s, showing the enduring footprints of small settlements like Dongola and Marsena connected by winding county routes.
