About this map

Abbott and Mansfield anchor this 1948 landscape where the borders of Sebastian, Logan, and Scott counties converge. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent ridges, including Blackjack Ridge and Gibson Ridge, which channel numerous waterways like Petit Jean Creek and Kings Creek. The rural social fabric of the era is clearly visible through a network of country institutions such as the Crossroads School and Pleasant Grove Church.

Evidence of the local economy and early settlement patterns appears in features like the Sawmill and numerous family and community burial grounds, including Cantrell Cemetery and Union Ridge Cem. The southern portion of the map transitions into the protected lands of the Quachita National Forest, while the presence of Mansfield Lake near the western boundary provides a distinct landmark for the town of Mansfield.
