2014 Map of Wattensaw

About this map

Wattensaw Bayou meanders across the southern landscape of this central Arkansas region, defining a terrain of low-lying wetlands and creek systems at the boundary of Lonoke and Prairie counties. Small rural settlements like Butlerville, Wattensaw, and Thurman serve as anchors for a network of country roads, including Black Jack Road and Pigeon Road. The area is characterized by its numerous family and community burial grounds, such as Salem Cem, Hebron Cem, and New Hope Cem, which provide significant geographic markers for local genealogy. To the west, the Mc Croskey Field Airport stands out as a modern landmark amidst the agricultural and timber-focused land use. The drainage patterns of Pigeon Roost Cr and Collins Cr reveal the natural topography that has influenced local settlement patterns and the placement of communities like Waterproof and Woodlawn along the county line.
