2024 Map of Abbott

About this map

Abbott and Mansfield serve as the primary hubs in this western Arkansas landscape, where the terrain is defined by a series of prominent ridges including Black Jack Ridge, Coop Ridge, and Gibson Ridge. The map documents a dense network of family-named cemeteries such as Pinkston Cem, Looper Cem, and Sorrels Cem, which are scattered among the drainages of Prairie Creek and Little Petit Jean Creek. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the elevation rises sharply toward the Ouachita National Forest and the Poteau Mountain Wilderness. The concentration of rural settlements like Dayton, Crossroads, and Echo reflects a longstanding community structure built around agricultural valleys and protected forest boundaries.
