About this map

The Little River twists through the Arkansas-Oklahoma borderlands in this 1951 survey, creating a complex network of meanders and an Old Channel that defines the local topography. At the center of this river-bound landscape is the settlement of Cerrogordo, positioned just south of the winding waterway. The map records a rural society organized around small crossroads and family landmarks, featuring West Otis Ch and the Pauley Cem near the southern border.

Industry and recreation are represented by the Kansas City Southern railroad, which skirts the eastern edge near Wade, and the Little River Country Club situated near a sharp river bend. Education and faith centers such as Plainview Sch and Wright Chapel are clearly marked, alongside small hamlets like Dogtown. The confluence of numerous creeks, including Rolling Fork and Bear Creek, illustrates the drainage patterns of the Monroe and Buckhorn districts before significant modern land-use changes.
