About this map

The Little River meanders sharply across the boundary of Sevier and Little River counties, defining the character of this borderland between Arkansas and Oklahoma. Along its banks, the map records historic river-crossing points such as Sorghum Patch Ford, Gin House Ford, and Parker Crossing, which speak to an earlier era of movement before modern infrastructure. The landscape is a mix of forest and agricultural tracts, with the western edge of the quadrangle falling within the Ouachita National Forest.

Small settlements and rural communities are scattered throughout, including Cerrogordo, West Otis, and Billingsleys Corner. Local history is preserved in several small burial grounds, such as Cerrogordo Cem, W Otis Cem, and Pauley Cem. In the northern section, Rolling Fork and Bear Cr drain the terrain, which is intersected by rural routes like Dog Town Rd and the Bear Creek Cutoff. These labels provide a detailed view of the rural road network and namesake crossings like the Dog Town Bridge and Boring Crossing.
