About this map

The boundary lines of Washington, Benton, and Madison Counties converge in this rural Arkansas landscape, anchored by the settlement of Spring Valley. The terrain is defined by the winding course of War Eagle Cr as it feeds into the southeastern reaches of Beaver Lake, surrounded by prominent ridges such as Been Mtn and Vaughan Mtn. This area retains its agrarian character, with small communities like Mayfield and Pilgrims Rest connected by a network of county roads and logging tracks.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks, including several family-named burial sites such as Austin Cem, Old Best Cem, and Vaughan Cem. These locations, along with the hollows like Granny Hollow and Hickory Flat Hollow, provide concrete evidence of long-established family ties to the land. The presence of Hindsville Lake and various smaller branches like Whitener Br further highlights the importance of the local watershed in shaping the region's development.
