Do you know of Brushy Lake ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Brushy Lake. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with Brushy Lake.<1>

Our sources for Brushy Lake (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office by the same name. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of Brushy Lake other than they indicate that Brushy Lake would be found somewhere in Cross County, Arkansas.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1876 and closed  in 1880.
