2014 Map of Cove

About this map

The Oklahoma-Arkansas border cuts vertically through this terrain, dividing McCurtain County from Polk County. The landscape is defined by the numerous drainage networks flowing into the Mountain Fork and Buffalo Creek, which carve through the elevations of the Ouachita region. In the eastern portion of the map, the small settlements of Hatfield and Cove serve as primary hubs of activity, connected by a network of rural roads such as Polk 26 Road and Polk 22 Road. Smaller localities like Plunketville and Pleasant Hill appear alongside essential community landmarks. Local history is deeply embedded in the land, evidenced by several family and community burial grounds including Buffalo Cemetery, Westview Cemetery, and the Cecil Chapel Cemetery, which provide vital touchstones for genealogical research in this borderland territory.
