About this map

The settlement of Viola serves as a central hub in this northern Arkansas landscape, situated where AR 223 Hwy N and AR 223 Hwy S intersect. The map records several smaller communities and landmarks, including Sturkie to the northeast and family-centered history found at Barker Cem, Viola Cem, and Gum Spring Cem. The terrain is defined by a series of hollows and knobs, notably Mashie Hollow and Wildcat Knob, which dictate the winding paths of rural routes like Barker Cemetery Ln and Browns Chapel Rd.

Hydrological features are prominent throughout the quadrangle, with numerous branches and creeks feeding into larger water bodies. Sparks Lake and James Lake sit near the developed corridor of US-62, while names like Flint Spring and Spring Lake suggest the natural water sources that originally drew settlers to these Ozark foothills. The boundary between Fulton County and Howell County marks the northern edge, where the state line meets Missouri.
