About this map

Rosston and Willisville anchor this survey of southern Nevada County, Arkansas, which details a landscape defined by small settlements and resource extraction. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the West Willisville Oil Field, indicating the local economic importance of the petroleum industry in this rural corridor. A network of county roads, including the historical corridor of Old Military Rd, connects the scattered farmsteads and communities.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local data in the numerous burial grounds documented here, such as Holly Springs Cemetery, Union Cemetery, and Saint Peters Cemetery. The hydrology of the area is well-charted, featuring the meandering Cypress Creek and Brushy Creek systems, which converge and flow south toward Waldrep Creek. At the village of Irma, the Rosston Lake Dam provides a focal point for the surrounding local road network.
