2011 Map of Yellville

About this map

Crooked Creek snakes across this Ozark landscape, providing the primary drainage for the settlement of Yellville. The town serves as a central hub, with a network of local roads like Marion County 4003 and Marion County 6014 radiating outward toward the smaller communities of Ralph and Cowan. This 2011 survey reveals a landscape where the upland terrain is marked by distinctive landmarks such as Standing Rock and Bald Jesse, while the creek bottoms accommodate several family and community burial grounds, including Wickersham Cemetery and Nanny Cemetery. To the south, the terrain becomes more isolated near the Freck Lookout Tower, overlooking the headwaters of Rush Creek and Nellon Creek. The distribution of these cemeteries and isolated homesteads along the hollows reflects a long-standing settlement pattern defined by the rugged topography of northern Arkansas.
