About this map

Terre Noire Creek meanders southeast across this portion of Clark County, defining a landscape of low ridges and alluvial bottomlands just after the turn of the millennium. The settlement of Curtis occupies the northwestern corner, while the small community of Red Springs serves as a central landmark for rural travelers. A network of local routes, including Vaden Rd and Red Springs Rd, connects these hamlets to the surrounding timberlands and family homesteads.

Local history is preserved in several rural burial grounds and meeting places, such as Bethel Springs Cemetery, Rawles Hill Cemetery, and Copeland Ridge Cemetery. The presence of the Copeland Ridge Community Hall near Copeland Ridge indicates a persisting social infrastructure in this wooded terrain. Numerous waterways like Bankhead Creek, White Oak Creek, and Caney Creek drain the area toward the larger river systems beyond the quadrangle's edges.
