About this map

Fort Chaffee Military Reservation dominates the southern landscape of this 1980s survey, defined by a dense grid of infrastructure including Fort Smith Boulevard and Chaffee Boulevard. The surrounding area shows the transition from the urban reach of Fort Smith to established residential communities like Barling and Central City. Local genealogy is well-documented through numerous family and community burial sites, from the Laura A Nolan Cem and Wisley Cem in the east to McAllister Cem near the riverbanks.

The Arkansas River and Lake Ozark form the northern boundary, where the Crawford Co Sebastian Co line follows the water's path. Waterways like Vache Grasse Creek and Massard Creek wind through the terrain, passing landmarks such as the St Edward Mercy Medical Center and various educational sites like Chaffin Jr High Sch. Industrial activity is noted by several shale pits and a quarry located near the Old RR Grade.
