Devils Backbone Ridge and the Washburn Mountains dominate this 2014 survey of the borderlands between Sebastian, Logan, and Franklin Counties. This portion of the Ouachita region is characterized by narrow gaps and ridges, notably at Backbone Narrows and Bradshaw Narrows, where the terrain forced early settlement patterns. Rural communities like Washburn and Barber are documented with significant genealogical detail, including several family and community burial grounds such as Rebecca Lewis Cem, Spencer Cem, and Pleasant Ridge Cem. The landscape reflects a mix of natural water features like Washburn Creek and Pigeon Cr alongside industrial development in the Booneville Gas Field and the creation of Booneville Lake.
