About this map

The Cossatot River meanders southward through this corner of Arkansas, defining the landscape before its confluence with the Little River and the expansive waters of Millwood Lake. The terrain is marked by a complex network of wetlands and backwaters, including Big Slough, Davis Slough, and Red Lake, reflecting the shifting hydrology of the river bottomlands. This area near the Sevier and Little River county line remains largely rural, characterized by scattered family landmarks and ecclesiastical sites that serve as anchors for the local community.

Evidence of established local history is found at Falls Chapel and the nearby Hopson Cem, while the Mills Cem sits further south near the river's edge. The road system, featuring names like Nobles Mound Rd, Salt Lick Rd, and Half Moon Rd, suggests a landscape shaped by traditional routes and geographic features. The Little River Bridge provides a vital crossing point, linking the timberlands and wetlands that dominate this riverside environment.
