About this map

The Caddo River flows through this corner of the Ouachita foothills, where the settlements of Amity and Glenwood serve as local hubs near the borders of Clark, Pike, and Montgomery Counties. The landscape is defined by the transition from the southern reaches of the Ouachita National Forest to the managed waters of Kirksey Reservoir. High ground is marked by prominent peaks such as Sugarloaf Knob, Trap Mountain, and Pigeon Roost Mountain, which stand above a network of smaller drainages including Sugarloaf Creek and Little Antoine Creek.

Rural life is anchored by family and community landmarks, evidenced by numerous burial grounds including Newcomb Cem, Shiloh Cem, and the Seventh Day Adventist Church Cem. The presence of the Amity Methodist Church and several small cemeteries like Jones Cem and Dillard Cem scattered along the local roads suggest long-established family homesteads and congregational centers that have persisted through generations of Arkansas history.
