2017 Map of Zion

About this map

Melbourne serves as a central hub in this section of Izard County, where the landscape is defined by the winding paths of E Rocky Bayou and W Lafferty Cr. The map reveals a dense network of rural infrastructure, from the Melbourne Municipal Airport - John E Miller Field to numerous small crossroads like Sage and Stella. This territory is deeply marked by its local heritage, evidenced by a high concentration of burial grounds such as Old Philadelphia Cem and Caney Spring Cem, which are often located near historical settlements like Larkin and LaCrosse. The transition from the more developed corridor along State Hwy 69 Bus to the rugged terrain of Pine Grove Hollow illustrates the varied geographic character of the region. Waterways like Poke Bayou and Philadelphia Cr drain the undulating hills, anchoring the placement of family-named landmarks and old country roads.
