About this map

Ultima Thule sits at the edge of the border between Arkansas and Oklahoma, serving as a focal point for this mid-1960s survey. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Rolling Fork and its major tributaries, including Buckhorn Creek and Cane Creek. In the northeast, the De Queen Reservoir was newly formed, with a Levee (Under Constr) signaling the engineering changes coming to the river valley.

Transport and industry are centered on the De Queen and Eastern railroad, which cuts across the southern portion of the map near the settlement of West Line. Small community centers like Chapel Hill and Oak Grove are documented through their local landmarks, such as the Chapel Hill Cem and a Community Building. The presence of several Gravel Pits and a Landing Strip reflect the local resource extraction and infrastructure of the era.
