About this map

Artesian Oil Field and the Lloyd Creek Oil Field dominate the landscape of Calhoun County, Arkansas, during this 2014 survey. The topography is defined by a complex drainage network where Hurricane Creek and its many tributaries, including Lick Branch and Gilbert Branch, weave through the lowlands. The settlement of Artesian sits near the junction of several local routes, while the Artesian Lookout Tower stands as a prominent landmark for the surrounding timber and oil lands.

Local history is preserved in the location of Friendship Cemetery and Faustina Cemetery, providing valuable points of reference for genealogists. The terrain transitions into the swampy waters of Bangs Slough in the southwest, illustrating the wet, wooded character of this part of southern Arkansas. The map also captures smaller communities like Unco and the expansive network of county roads that service the regional extraction industries.
