2014 Map of Troy

About this map

The rolling woodlands of the Arkansas timberlands define this landscape along the county line between Nevada and Ouachita Counties. Centered on the community of Troy, the terrain is heavily dissected by slow-moving waterways such as Lewis Bayou, White Oak Creek, and the winding Cypress Creek. The economy and land use are characterized by the East Troy Oil Field and a network of county roads like AR 57 Highway and Us-278 that connect small settlements. Local history is anchored by several rural burying grounds including Adams Chapel Cemetery, Hickory Ridge Cemetery, and Zion Hill Cemetery, which serve as landmarks for the dispersed population of Spring Hill and Mendenhall. The map reveals a transition from traditional agriculture to energy extraction and forestry as the primary drivers of the local geography.
