2024 Map of Sonora

About this map

The White River and the expanding waters of Beaver Lake define the eastern edge of this landscape, where the Ozark plateau meets the growing urban corridors of Northwest Arkansas. Settlement patterns here are dense, with the fringes of Springdale, Fayetteville, and Lowell encroaching upon older rural landmarks. Family history is preserved in several small burial grounds, including Phillips Cem, Wilson Cem, and Head Cem, which sit atop the ridges and valleys between the urban centers. The topography is marked by significant rises such as Fitzgerald Mtn and Price Mtn, while the river's legacy is noted at historical crossing points like Neills Bluff Ford and Gibson Ford. Aviation infrastructure is prominent, featuring both the Springdale Municipal Airport and the smaller Circle S Farms Airport, illustrating the region's transition from a collection of rural river bluffs to a vital modern transport hub.
