About this map

Bearden serves as the primary settlement on this landscape where the borders of Ouachita and Calhoun counties meet. The area is defined by an intricate network of waterways, including the winding Two Bayou and Locust Bayou, which transition into wetlands such as Covington Pond and Middle Pond. To the northeast, the smaller community of Harlow sits near its namesake Harlow Cemetery, illustrating the rural burial patterns common in southern Arkansas.

Transport and industry are marked by several logging or service paths, most notably the Stout Tram in the east and the winding Camp Trail. Genealogists can trace local landmarks like Moss Hill Cemetery and family-named water features such as Joe Jack Creek and Jack Nuts Branch. The map reveals a heavily wooded terrain punctuated by a dense grid of county roads, including Ouachita Road 284 and Bay Herbert Road, which connect these isolated homesteads and timber tracks.
