About this map

The county seat of Ashdown anchors the western edge of this landscape, where residential streets like Peacock Dr and Lakewood Dr transition into the rural reaches of eastern Little River County. The hydrology of the region is defined by the winding course of the Little River, which feeds into the expanse of Millwood Lake in the northeast. This proximity to the river system is reflected in the numerous water bodies and drainage basins across the sheet, including Jack Island and the SW Arkansas W D Holding Basin.

Genealogists and local historians can trace family roots through several small settlements and burial grounds. Small clusters of development appear at Peytonville, Fomby, and Long, with older history preserved at Cook Cem, Peytonville Cem, and Newsom Cem. Industrial land use is evident in the south at the Nacoosa Paper Retention Pond, illustrating the area's economic ties to the local timber and paper industries.
