2011 Map of Zion

About this map

Larkin, LaCrosse, and Zion anchor this rural landscape in north-central Arkansas, where the topography is defined by the winding paths of Philadelphia Creek and Caney Creek. The area maintains its traditional character, centered around small communities and local post offices such as the Sage Post Office and La Crosse Post Office. For genealogists, the map is remarkably dense with burial grounds, including the Old Philadelphia Cemetery, Watkins Cemetery, and Bethlehem Cemetery, each serving as a geographical marker for the families who settled this part of Izard County. To the south near Stella, the Sage Lookout Tower stands as a notable landmark overlooking the headwaters of West Lafferty Creek and Poke Bayou. The network of secondary roads, like Possum Trot Rd, connects these scattered settlements and cemeteries, reflecting the enduring rural infrastructure of the early 21st century.
