About this map

The Arkansas River carves a sweeping path through this LeFlore County landscape, defining the fertile lowlands of the Fort Coffee Bottom and Redland Bottom. The settlement of Fort Coffee sits at a strategic bend near the river, south of the Cherokee Chute. This area is characterized by a dense network of country roads and several established burial grounds, including Cottonwood Cem, Lees Chapel Cem, and the Wilson Rock Cem near the riverbank.

Evidence of local transportation and small-scale infrastructure is visible throughout the quadrangle, from Sweetbriar Airport to the Murry Spur rail site in the southeast. Significant waterways like Big Skin Bayou and Deadman Slough feed into the river system, while the community of Wilson Rock marks a notable geographic point along the northern bank. The map illustrates the persistent relationship between these riverside settlements and the flood-prone plains of Paw Paw Bottom and Braden Bottom.
