About this map

The Fourche LaFave River meanders across the northern portion of this Perry County landscape, forming dramatic oxbows at Calfneck Bend and Horseshoe Bend. Near the county seat of Perryville, the terrain transitions from the river valley to the protected timberlands of the Ouachita National Forest. This 2020 record illustrates a complex hydrographic network, from the expansive waters of Harris Brake to the smaller reaches of Bull Lake and Deltic Farms Lake.

Rural life is anchored by established settlements and ancestral landmarks such as Thornburg, Antioch, and Williams Junction. Genealogists and local historians will find numerous burial grounds preserved here, including Perryville Cem, Cardon Cem, Hope Cem, and Tyndall Cem. In the southern reaches, the Maumelle River flows past Sausmann Mtn and Sausmann Falls, highlighting the elevation changes typical of this part of Arkansas.
