About this map

The Saline River carves a winding path along the border of Howard and Sevier Counties in this southwest Arkansas landscape. The city of Dierks sits at the northern edge, serving as a hub for the region's timber-related road network. Smaller, dispersed settlements like Lebanon, Bethany, and Provo reflect a traditional pattern of community life anchored by local family names and churches. Several historical crossing points are identified along the river, including the Salt Works Bridge and Hoodinpile Ford, which suggest earlier industrial or transit routes before modern infrastructure became dominant.

Genealogists will find a wealth of specific landmarks, from Clanson Memorial Park in town to rural burial grounds such as Greens Chapel Cem, Potts Cemetery, and Allen Cem. The terrain is defined by a series of creeks, such as Holly Creek and Woolsey Cr, which feed into the river system. These features, combined with named rural roads like Hogg Hill Rd and Kolbtown Rd, provide a precise record of the area's contemporary geography and historical footprint.
