About this map

The Ouachita National Forest blankets the western edge of this landscape where the Arkansas and Oklahoma state lines meet. This border region is defined by a series of small, distributed settlements and rural crossroads that once served as vital community hubs for the surrounding timber and agricultural lands. Arkinda sits centrally at a junction of local routes, while to the north and east, places like Oak Grove, Jewell, and Cross Roads mark the rolling terrain.

Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial sites throughout the quadrangle, including the Strawn Cem in the north and the Green Cem to the east. The drainage patterns of Hurricane Cr and Calton Cr dictate the local geography, flowing around the hills that once supported isolated homesteads. The map traces the winding paths of numerous county roads, such as CR-52 and CR-55, which connect these historic communities and cemeteries across the Little River County landscape.
