2017 Map of Wheeler

About this map

The Illinois River snakes through the western edge of Fayetteville, carving a valley that separates the growing urban reach from the protected Ozark National Forest. This 2017 study illustrates the intersection of modern aviation and rural heritage, where the Wedington Woods Airport sits just north of historic family markers like Bell Cem. To the northwest, the settlement of Savoy marks the confluence of Clear Creek and the river, while the southwestern corner is defined by the winding Muddy Fork. The landscape is a transition of residential growth and natural preserves, anchored by landmarks such as Lake Weddington and White Rock. Small rural pockets like Weaver Hill and Wheeler persist alongside the expanding boundaries of Farmington and Prairie Grove, providing a clear view of how development follows the arterial roads into the Arkansas hills.
