About this map

Arkinda and Eastport sit near the western edge of Little River County, marking the border between Arkansas and Oklahoma. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of numerous creeks, including Cooper Creek and Hurricane Creek, which weave through a mix of timberland and small farming communities. A significant portion of the western terrain is protected within the Ouachita National Forest, creating a distinct boundary between managed forest and the rural settlements to the east.

Local history is preserved in several small family and community burial grounds such as Strawn Cem and Campground Cem. These sites, along with hamlets like Jewell and Cross Roads, reflect a dispersed settlement pattern typical of the region. The map captures the intricate network of county roads like New Cut Rd and Tower Hill Rd that connect these remote homesteads and crossroads, illustrating the enduring rural character of this borderland area.
