2017 Map of Tilly

About this map

The settlement of Tilly sits at the northern edge of the Ozark National Forest, where the headwaters of W Fork Bear Cr and the Middle Fork Illinois Bayou carve deep into the plateau. This 2017 survey reveals a landscape of high ridges and hollows defined by the tri-county junction of Searcy, Pope, and Van Buren Counties. To the south, the community of Dabney rests near the S Fork Little Red River, connected to the interior by a network of winding roads like Mill Creek Rd and Reach Rd. Local history is anchored by the Zion Hill Cem near Tilly and Parks Cem to the northeast. Prominent landmarks such as Shields Knob, Walker Mtn, and Alread Hill illustrate the high relief of the Boston Mountains, while numerous named drainages like Lick Hollow and Turkey Pen Hollow detail the intricate terrain.
