About this map

Armstrong and Williford anchor this northeastern Arkansas landscape, where the Ozark foothills meet a complex network of creeks and hollows. The Spring River winds through the southwestern corner, joined by tributaries like Martins Creek and Dayberry Cr, carving out a terrain defined by landmarks such as Beard Hill, Levi Hill, and Bear Bluff. This topographic study reveals a deeply settled rural interior marked by a high density of family and community burial grounds, including the Bradford Cemetery, Ratliff Cem, and Wicker Cem.

The road network, including Us-63 and AR 90 Hwy W, links dispersed homesteads and named valleys like Happy Valley and Deadman Hollow. For the local historian or genealogist, the map serves as a record of land use and family presence in the early 21st century, from the secluded Vagabond Lake to the various ridge-top clearings and wooded drainages that have defined the Sharp, Randolph, and Lawrence County borders for generations.
