2012 Map of Vian

About this map

The town of Vian sits at the northern edge of this landscape, its residential grid defined by streets like Main St and Mill St. The terrain to the south is dominated by the expansive waters of the Robert S Kerr Reservoir, which has reshaped the local geography. Small communities like McKey and Tamaha appear near the shoreline, with the latter situated on a peninsula alongside the Tamaha Cemetery. This 2012 survey illustrates the relationship between these surviving settlements and the managed waters of the Arkansas River system. Local family history is preserved in sites such as Drake Stand Cemetery and the Vian Cemetery, while prominent elevations like Wolf Mtn and Potato Knob provide natural landmarks above the floodplain of Vian Creek and Negro Creek.
