About this map

The Fourche LaFave River meanders across the northern landscape, carving distinct features like Calfneck Bend and Horseshoe Bend as it flows toward the expansive Harris Brake Lake. This reservoir, contained by the Harris Brake Dam and an auxiliary structure, is a central landmark for the surrounding communities of Antioch and Thornburg. The settlement pattern follows established county routes, connecting smaller locales like Cherry Hill and Williams Junction to local industries such as Deltic Farms.

To the south, the terrain rises toward Sausmann Mountain and Sausmann Falls, where the Maumelle River and its many tributaries, including Lyons Branch and Big Branch, define the topography. Local history is anchored by several burial grounds, including the Tyndall Cemetery and Cardon Cemetery, which are scattered throughout the hills and river bottoms. The presence of Tram Rd and various forest trails suggests a landscape shaped by both timber management and long-standing rural residency.
