2020 Map of Velvet Ridge

About this map

Batesville Blvd serves as the central artery for this portion of the Arkansas landscape, connecting several small communities where White and Jackson Counties meet. The settlement of Velvet Ridge sits at a crossroads near Velvet Ridge Cemetery, while further north, Denmark is situated near the Bethlehem Cemetery. The terrain is defined by a series of distinct elevations, including Throckmorton Hill, Soapstone Hill, and the more prominent Buzzard Roost Mountain to the southeast. Waterways such as Fourmile Creek and Glaise Creek drain the undulating hills, which are also home to curiously named hollows like Huckleberry Hollow and Wolf Hollow. To the east, the community of Heffington is identified near Caplener Branch, while the oddly named Twentythree appears in the southern reaches, providing a clear view of rural development patterns in the early twenty-first century.
