About this map

Wattensaw Bayou meanders across this rural Arkansas landscape, defining the hydrology of a region split between Lonoke and Prairie counties. The settlement of Butlerville serves as a northern anchor, while Wattensaw marks the central portion of the quadrangle. This 2017 survey reveals a quiet agricultural and wooded expanse punctuated by small local airfields like Mc Croskey Field and Bryan Field.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial grounds, including Butlerville Cem, Salem Cem, and Hebron Cem. The drainage pattern is intricate, with numerous small waterways such as Pigeon Roost Cr, Duck Cr, and Hickory Plains Cr feeding into the larger bayou system. The map reflects a modern road network of county routes and lanes that provide access to these scattered rural homesites and historical landmarks.
