About this map

War Eagle and the surrounding Ozark foothills are defined by the winding course of War Eagle Cr as it flows toward the expansive waters of Beaver Lake. This 2017 survey details the rugged topography of Benton County, where deep hollows like Ventris Hollow and Van Hollow meet high points such as War Eagle Bluff and Pine Top. The settlement pattern reflects both long-standing rural communities and modern lakeside developments, ranging from the historic War Eagle Bridge area to the residential clusters of Lost Bridge Village Glade and Beacon Addition.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several important sites, including the War Eagle Cem and Martin Cem near Larue. The map also captures significant natural landmarks like Van Winkle Hollow Spring and the distinctive geological formation at Standing Rock Hollow. The network of timbered ridges and water-carved valleys, punctuated by passes like Slate Gap and Devils Gap, illustrates the challenging terrain that has shaped transportation and settlement in this corner of Arkansas for generations.
