2017 Map of Cerrogordo

About this map

The Little River meanders across the borderlands of Arkansas and Oklahoma, defining the landscape of southwestern Sevier County. This area, recorded in the twenty-first century, shows the transition from the Ouachita National Forest in the north to the Pond Creek National Wildlife Refuge in the south. The small settlement of Cerrogordo and nearby Billingsleys Corner serve as local hubs for a rural network of roads like Border Rd and Cerrogordo Rd. Significant for local historians, the map documents several burial sites including Cerrogordo Cem, West Otis Cem, and Pauley Cem. Along the river, features such as Dog Town Bridge and Green Wood Shoals highlight the historical importance of the waterway for local transport and crossing. The northern reaches toward Wade and West Otis are characterized by the drainages of Rolling Fork and Bear Creek, illustrating a landscape dominated by timber and river bottomlands.
