About this map

The Saline River winds through the heart of this Cleveland County landscape, defining the character of the southeastern Arkansas timberlands. In the lower reaches of the quadrangle, the town of Kingsland serves as a primary settlement, while smaller locales like Gum Springs and the historic river crossing at Charnnings Ferry point to a landscape historically tied to the water. The map preserves several burial sites of genealogical interest, including Grace Cem, Gum Grove Cem, Seymore Cem, and Camp Springs Cem, often located near crossroads such as Crossroads Rd.

Elevations vary from the lowlands along Grisly Cr and Finley Cr to the prominent rise at Fools Head. The network of local routes, including Hampton Garner Rd and Chownings Ferry Rd, illustrates the rural connectivity between isolated homesteads and river landings like Canoe Landing. Large ponds and lakes such as Wilson Lake and Clements Pond further suggest the importance of local water resources to the region's agriculture and ecology.
