About this map

The Louisiana and Arkansas railroad forms a diagonal spine through this corner of Hopkins County, connecting the rural communities of Como and Pickton. The landscape is defined by the extraction of natural resources, most notably within the Pickton Oil Field at the southern edge of the quadrangle, where several Gas Wells are situated. Numerous small country churches and burial grounds, such as Elm Ridge Ch, Forest Academy Ch, and Woodland Cem, serve as anchors for the scattered farmsteads of the era.

Drainage is dominated by the winding paths of Richland Creek, Morris Creek, and East Caney Creek, which carve through the terrain between small settlements like Pine Forest and Bethel. The presence of a Sandpit and Claypit in the northwest, alongside family-named sites like Coffee Cem, provides a detailed record of the local economy and genealogy before modern development altered the rural fabric of the region.
