2017 Map of Baker Springs

About this map

Cossatot River flows through the center of this landscape, carving a path through the southern reaches of the Ouachita National Forest. The map documents a rural transition where the river meets the northern edge of Gillham Lake at Duckett Ford. Local history and genealogy are centered around small community hubs like Hartley and Baker Springs, with burial sites such as Duckett Cem and Center Cem providing vital points for family research. The terrain is marked by distinct drainages including Baker Creek, Harris Creek, and the curiously named Devils Hollow. A complex network of timber roads and forest routes crisscrosses the township lines of t5s r30w and t4s r30w, illustrating the modern management of these timberlands and public forest areas.
