2020 Map of Cerrogordo

About this map

The Little River and Rolling Fork wind through this borderland region where Arkansas meets Oklahoma, defining a landscape shaped by river bends and bottomlands. Several small communities and named crossroads anchor the rural landscape, including the settlement of Cerrogordo and nearby Neal Springs. For family historians, the map identifies specific burial sites such as Cerrogordo Cem, West Otis Cem, and Pauley Cem, which serve as vital landmarks for tracing local lineages. The northern portion of the quadrangle shows the confluence of smaller tributaries like Buck Cr and Bear Cr as they feed into the larger river systems. Significant public lands are also noted, with portions of the Ouachita National Forest and the Pond Creek National Wildlife Refuge (PCNWR) protecting the riverine environment. Unique terrain features, such as the Green Wood Shoals and the Dog Town Bridge, provide specific points of interest for those studying the historical crossings and navigation of these waterways.
