About this map

Vilonia and the surrounding Faulkner County countryside are defined by a complex network of waterways, with the North Fork Cypress Bayou, Middle Fork Cypress Bayou, and South Fork Cypress Bayou converging as they flow eastward. This 2011 survey captures the landscape just before significant modern expansion, highlighting established communities like Funston, Otto, and Center Point. The terrain is marked by numerous high points and crossings, including Carmichael Gap, Duncan Gap, and Snow Hill, which likely influenced the historical placement of roads and homesteads.

Genealogists will find a wealth of specific local landmarks, from the Vilonia Cemetery near the town center to more rural sites like Mount Olive Cemetery and Birmingham Cemetery. The transition from the low-lying Bayou Meto in the south to the higher elevations of Billy Goat Hill and Mount Arva illustrates the varied topography of this central Arkansas region. Transportation is anchored by the Vilonia Airport and a grid of rural lanes like Naylor Rd and Vilanco Ln that connect the gaps and hills of the interior.
