2011 Map of Sumpter

About this map

Sumpter and the surrounding rural communities of Bradley County are defined by a network of creeks and small family settlements. This landscape is marked by historical gathering points like Mount Olive, Mannstown, and Pattsville, each supported by its own namesake burial ground such as Mount Olive Cemetery and Pattsville Cemetery. The area is geographically bounded to the east by the Saline River, which collects drainage from several notable tributaries including Snake Creek, Grassy Pond Creek, and Beech Creek. In the southern reaches, the settlement of Smearny sits near the confluence of Little Snake Creek and the river, anchored by the Smearny Cemetery. The map reveals a dense system of county roads, such as County Rd 322 and Bradley Road 52, that connect these isolated hamlets through the pine-laden terrain typical of this part of Arkansas.
