2017 Map of Steprock

About this map

The Little Red River cuts through the southwestern corner of this landscape, its waters passing under Dewey Bridge near the broad alluvial plains of Wells Bottom. This rural section of White County is characterized by a network of creeks, including Fourteenmile Cr and Tenmile Cr, which drain the ridges and bottoms between small settlements. The community of Sunnydale sits at a central crossroads, while Steprock lies just to the south near the winding path of Cedar Br. Local history is anchored by several burial grounds, such as Philadelphia Cem and Leggett Cem, which serve as quiet landmarks of early settlement. The terrain transitions from the heights of Round Mtn and Flat Top Mtn in the north and east to the drainage basins of Pumpkin Br and Onion Cr, illustrating the relationship between the upland ridges and the productive river valleys.
