About this map

Melbourne serves as the central hub of this Izard County landscape, situated at the junction of State Hwy 69 Bus and State Hwy 289. The surrounding rural topography is defined by a dense network of local routes like Posson Trot Rd and La Crosse Rd, which connect small settlements such as LaCrosse, Zion, and Larkin. This 2020 map demonstrates a landscape deeply tied to its local heritage, evidenced by the numerous small burial grounds dispersed across the townships, including Old Philadelphia Cem and Caney Spring Cem.

The aviation and athletic infrastructure of the county seat is represented by the Melbourne Municipal Airport - John E Miller Field and Davidson Field. Drainage patterns are dictated by numerous creeks and hollows, such as Philadelphia Cr, Poke Bayou, and Pine Grove Hollow, which carve through the terrain between the ridges. The distribution of these watercourses and the proximity of family-named cemeteries like Watkins Cem and Shell Cem offer a detailed perspective on the generational settlement patterns of north-central Arkansas.
