2011 Map of Wesson

About this map

Wesson and the settlement of Three Creeks anchor this southern Arkansas landscape, situated along the border with Louisiana. The area is defined by a dense network of burial grounds, providing a significant resource for genealogical research into the region's early families. Notable sites include Wesson Cemetery, Andrews Chapel Cemetery, Jones Cemetery, and Scotland Cemetery. The terrain is woven with minor waterways like Beech Creek, Sugar Creek, and Francis Creek, which feed into the larger system of Three Creeks. While residential density is light, the presence of numerous small cemetery sites such as Brown Cemetery and Masondia Cemetery suggests a deeply rooted community history that predates the modern road grid. Local landmarks like Cooks Pond and the Arkansas Noname 49 Dam reflect the local hydrology and small-scale water management in Union County.
