About this map

The Ouachita River winds through the northern landscape of this region, creating distinct geographical features like Morrison Island near the settlement of Midway. The area is characterized by a network of creeks and bayous, including DeLisle Cr, Cox Bayou, and Easley Cr, which define the drainage patterns between the small communities of Donaldson and Friendship. This topography reflects the transition between the river lowlands and the higher ground where many of the area's oldest markers are found.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial sites, such as Midway Cem, Mount Pleasant Cem, Ouachita Cem, and Jones Cem. The southern portion of the survey captures the convergence of county lines for Hot Spring, Clark, and Dallas, near the small stations of Witherspoon and Brown Springs. Unique landmarks like Dutherage Spring and the intricate creek systems like L'Eau Frais Cr illustrate the rural water-reliant economy of this Arkansas corridor.
