About this map

The town of Charleston serves as the focal point of this survey of the Arkansas river valley transition, where the street grid is anchored by a Po and the E Main St corridor. The area’s history is preserved in a high concentration of burial grounds, including the Sacred Heart Cem and Garden Memorial Cem on the east side of town, and more remote sites like Morrow Cem and Carter Cem to the southwest.

The landscape is defined by the east-west orientation of Coal Ridge and prominent landmarks like Potato Hill. Water resources are central to the region's development, evidenced by Charleston Lake, Darby Lake, and the winding course of Doctors Fork. To the north, smaller settlements like Ursula and Grand Ridge are connected by a network of established routes including the Military Rd and State Hwy 217, showing the persistence of rural communities in Franklin and Sebastian Counties.
