About this map

Howell sits at the heart of this landscape, positioned along the northern bank of the Arkansas River where the prairie transition begins. The terrain is defined by the carved path of the river valley and the northern drainages of Saw Log Cr and S Fork Buckskin Cr, which break up the surrounding agricultural grid. This survey provides a detailed look at the rural infrastructure in Ford and Gray Counties, marking the exact alignment of section roads like Jewell Rd and Denim Rd. Local history is anchored by the Ridenour Cem, a small burial ground situated north of the river. The map illustrates how transportation corridors and water sources dictated the settlement patterns of this plains region, with the heaviest development clustering near the river's path through the southern half of the quadrangle.
