2011 Map of Wheeler

About this map

Illinois River and its major tributaries, including Clear Creek and Muddy Fork, dominate this portion of the Ozark plateau west of Fayetteville. The landscape is characterized by a mix of agricultural tracts and growing residential clusters such as Savoy and Wedington Woods. Local history is anchored by sites like Bell Cemetery and Rose Cemetery, alongside the sprawling University of Arkansas Experimental Farm. To the northwest, the Lake Weddington Dam creates a significant water body within the timbered terrain, while smaller communities like Viney Grove and Starks reflect the traditional settlement patterns of the region. The map also documents specialized infrastructure, including the Wedington Wood Airport and the complex network of rural roads that connect the heights of Weaver Hill to the valley floors of Goose Creek and Hamstring Creek.
