The Wyatt Petroglyphs are rock art located in Independence County, Arkansas, in the general vicinity of the city of Desha. The petroglyphs are of a type commonly found in eastern Missouri and southern Illinois, and are believed to date to about 1500 CE. Depictions include a thunderbird, bird tracks, arrows, human figures, and crescents and sun rays, all typical of other known regional petroglyph sites. Their relationship to area Native American archaeological sites is not well understood.[1]
The rock art site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.
