About this map

Atlanta and Owens anchor the landscape along the state line in the early 1970s, where rural life centers on community landmarks like Mt Israel Ch and Mt Bethel Ch. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainage, including Little Cornie Bayou, Pigeon Roost Creek, and Ware Creek, which cross the border between Arkansas and Louisiana.

Industry and local history are closely intertwined across this section of Columbia County and Claiborne Parish. The development of the East Haynesville Oil and Gas Field is evident through numerous oil wells and pipelines. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of local burial sites, such as Chalybeate Springs Cem and Traylor Cem, and churches like New Hope No 1 Ch and Wares Chapel that served these border-straddling communities.
