About this map

West Helena serves as the primary urban center for this Phillips County landscape, characterized by its dense street grid and the central West Helena Post Office. The surrounding territory is defined by a traditional agricultural layout, where long county roads like Phillips Road 245 and Phillips Road 237 connect small rural hubs such as Southland, Wycamp, and Huma.

This map is particularly notable for its density of family and community burial grounds, offering significant value for genealogists. Landmarks such as Mount Pleasant Cemetery, Billingsley Cemetery, and the Odd Fellows Cemetery are scattered across the terrain, often located near creeks like Crooked Creek and Lick Creek. Aviation history is represented by the Thompson-Robbins Airport, while the rail influence is still visible at Helena Junction.
