About this map

The city of Charleston serves as a primary hub for this portion of Arkansas, situated along the boundary where Sebastian Co meets Franklin Co. The landscape is defined by its ridge-and-hollow topography, including elevations like Grand Ridge, Coal Ridge, and Potato Hill. This survey captures the region's agricultural and rural character, evidenced by the numerous small family and community cemeteries such as Hickory Ridge Cem and Parks Cem scattered across the countryside.

Water management and natural drainage are central to the terrain, with Charleston Lake, Darby Lake, and the Sixmile Creek Site 14 Reservoir providing significant local hydrology. Historical transportation routes are prominent, notably the Military Rd running east-west and a network of county roads like Ursula Rd that connect the smaller settlement of Ursula to the surrounding farmland and the larger center at Charleston.
