About this map

The Mulberry River winds through the northern reaches of this landscape, its path marked by traditional river crossings such as Kings Ford and Ham Ford. The terrain transitions from the elevations of Boyd Mountain and Fisher Mountain in the west toward the waters of Ozark Lake in the south. This area of Franklin County is characterized by a network of small settlements and energy production, highlighted by the Lone Elm Gas Field and White Oak Gas Field.

A strong sense of local heritage is preserved through numerous family-named landmarks and resting places, including the Rankin Cemetery, Bourland Cemetery, and Whitson Cemetery. The mapping of small communities like Lone Elm, Cravens, and White Rock alongside features such as Salt Spring Bend and Deer Creek Hollow provides a detailed view of the rural settlement patterns and natural drainage systems, including Cravens Creek and White Oak Creek, that have long defined this part of Arkansas.
