Geography

In 2007, U.S. Highway 412 was widened to four lanes and now bypasses the town completely. Via US 412 it is 19 miles (31 km) west to Springdale and 9 miles (14 km) southeast to Huntsville, the Madison county seat.

According to the United States Census Bureau, Hindsville has a total area of 0.37 square miles (0.96 km2), of which 0.002 square miles (0.0052 km2), or 0.53%, are water. [1] The town is drained by Whitener Branch, a west-flowing tributary of the White River.

Hindsville Lake, 3 miles (5 km) west of the town, is one of the oldest reservoirs in Arkansas. While Lake Conway was the first in the state to be commissioned by the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission, Lake Hindsville was the first to be built, with its construction completed in March 1950 before bids on Lake Conway had even been submitted. [5] In 2007 it was drained, so that the dam could be repaired.
