About this map

Stuttgart anchors the southeastern corner of this Arkansas landscape, where the St Louis Southwestern and Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroads meet. The terrain is defined by a complex network of bayous and drainage systems, including Two Prairie Bayou and La Grue Bayou, which support the region's agricultural character. This 1971 record shows the interplay of county lines, as Lonoke, Prairie, and Arkansas Counties all converge in this quadrangle.

Local history is preserved in the scattered rural settlements and faith centers like Slovak, home to the Russian Orthodox Cemetery, and Fairmount. Genealogists will find numerous family-named landmarks and resting places, such as Tate Cemetery, Belcher Cemetery, and the Geridge Cemetery near Geridge. The presence of the Stuttgart Municipal Airport and Peckerwood Lake highlights the infrastructure and water management systems essential to the Grand Prairie region.
