2014 Map of Witter

About this map

Aurora and Witter serve as the primary focal points in this section of Madison County, where the settlement pattern follows the winding course of the War Eagle Cr. The landscape is defined by a dense network of named hollows and ridges, such as Nubbin Ridge and Carroll Anderson Hollow, which illustrate how local geography dictated the placement of family homesteads and transport routes. Several small burial grounds, including Jackson Creek Cem and Captain Smiths Cem, are situated on higher ground overlooking the valleys, providing a vital resource for genealogical research in this part of the Ozarks. The infrastructure is dominated by the Ar-23 HWY corridor, which connects these small communities while navigating around prominent elevations like Venus Mtn and Moore Mtn. This map reflects a rural Arkansas environment where small-scale agriculture and land ownership are deeply tied to the specific contours of the creek systems.
