2011 Map of Wattensaw

About this map

Butlerville and the smaller settlements of Thurman, Woodlawn, Wattensaw, and Waterproof anchor this portion of Prairie County. The landscape is defined by the complex drainage of the Wattensaw Bayou system, with waterways like Pigeon Roost Creek, Duck Creek, and Collins Creek winding through the rural terrain. This 2011 survey reveals a high density of small family or community burial grounds, including Butlerville Cemetery, Salem Cemetery, Harper Cemetery, New Hope Cemetery, and Hebron Cemetery, which provide invaluable markers for genealogical research in this region of Arkansas. The road network, including Bethlehem Rd and Clay Hill Rd, connects these scattered settlements and points to the historical rural infrastructure of the area before modern consolidation.
