2020 Map of Tilly

About this map

Tilly and Dabney sit at the intersection of Searcy, Pope, and Van Buren counties, marking a high-elevation landscape defined by the rugged watersheds of the Ozark National Forest. The terrain is characterized by a series of prominent peaks and deep hollows, including Shields Knob, Walker Mtn, and Brown Mtn. Waterways like the Middle Fork Illinois Bayou and the Middle Fork Little Red River carve through the limestone landscape, dictating the placement of early settlements and family cemeteries. Local history is anchored by the Zion Hill Cem and Parks Cem, which provide essential points of reference for genealogists tracing ancestral roots in this corner of the Arkansas Ozarks. The road network, including Juddville Rd and Hog Farm Rd, follows the natural contours of the hills, illustrating how geography has continuously shaped transit in this region.
