About this map

The city of Ashdown serves as a focal point for this survey of Little River County, where the transition from agriculture to managed water resources is clearly visible. The eastern edge of the quadrangle is dominated by the sprawling Millwood Lake, a landscape feature that significantly altered the path of the Little River. Near the lake, the Peyton Public Use Area and associated Campground reflect the area's development for recreation following the reservoir's creation.

Tracing the rural landscape reveals established community anchors like Mt Moriah Ch and the small settlement of Peytonville. Transportation history is preserved through the crossing routes of the St Louis - San Francisco and the Kansas City Southern railroads. For those researching family history, smaller landmarks such as Cook Cem and Newsom Cem provide essential geographic context for earlier generations of residents across the townships of Cleveland, Franklin, and Jefferson.
