2011 Map of Williford

About this map

Williford sits at the southern edge of this Arkansas landscape, where the Spring River winds through the hills. This 2011 survey reveals a territory defined by a dense network of named hollows and ridges, illustrating how the topography has dictated local naming conventions and land use for generations. The area's genealogical depth is evident in the high concentration of small family and community burial grounds, such as the Bradford Chapel Cemetery and Wicker Cemetery, which are tucked away among the drainage basins of Martins Creek and Ferguson Creek. To the west, the Vagabond Lake Dam represents a more modern hydrological modification to the terrain. From the northern settlement of Armstrong down to the creek-side hollows like Prewitt Hollow and Deadman Hollow, the map documents a rural Ozark foothills community where the relationship between the winding county roads and the natural watercourses remains central to the local geography.
