About this map

Chalybeate Springs Cem and Traylor Cem sit among the timberlands and headwaters of southern Columbia County, marking the long-established settlements of this Arkansas-Louisiana borderland. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of waterways, including Little Corney Creek, Pigeon Roost Creek, and Sassafras Creek, which carve through the terrain north of the state line. Small communities like Ware and Owens serve as local hubs, connected by a web of county roads such as Columbia Road 16 and Columbia Road 293. The map illustrates a rural economy historically tied to the land, where Rasberry Lake and various branches like Red Water Branch drainage patterns influence local property lines and road placements. This documentation provides a clear view of the rural infrastructure and family landmarks that continue to anchor this quiet corner of the Gulf Coastal Plain.
