2014 Map of Western Grove

About this map

The Buffalo National River winds through the southern portion of this survey, defining a landscape of hollows and ridges where the boundaries of Newton, Searcy, Boone, and Marion counties meet. The settlement of Western Grove serves as a central hub, connected to outlying communities like Yardelle and Pindall via a network of rural routes including Ar-123. This 2014 data reflects a region deeply tied to its geography, with numerous small family and community burial grounds such as Wilbourn Cem, Mt Hersey Cem, and Dugger Cem scattered across the uplands. Steep terrain features like Copper Bluff and Lead Hill overlook the river valley, while named water sources like Mitch Hill Spring and Chinquapin Spring indicate the importance of karst hydrology to the local topography. The map provides a detailed view of the winding mountain roads and the dispersed settlement pattern characteristic of the Ozark plateau.
