About this map

The Oklahoma and Arkansas state line bisects this region, where the rugged terrain of McCurtain County meets Sevier County. The settlement of Ultima Thule serves as a historic anchor near the border, situated just west of the Rolling Fork river. This area is characterized by a network of creek drainages including Cane Creek, Mud Creek, and Rock Creek, which flow toward the southern reaches of De Queen Lake visible in the northeast.

Genealogists will find several burial sites including Ultima Thule Cemetery, Harris Mill Cemetery, and Chapel Hill Cemetery. The landscape transitions from the wooded hills around Kellum and Cheatham in the north to the more developed corridor near Chapel Hill, which is marked by the J Lynn Helms Sevier County Airport. The persistence of local family and place names like Johnson Bridge and Glen Canyon reflects the deep-rooted rural character of this borderland community.
