2017 Map of Fort Smith

About this map

The Fort Smith National Historic Site and Belle Point mark the strategic confluence where the Arkansas River meets the border between Arkansas and Oklahoma. This modern survey illustrates the complex border geography where Sebastian and Crawford counties in Arkansas meet Sequoyah and Le Flore counties in Oklahoma. The landscape is defined by the winding river and its hydraulic history, including the Shoofly Bend Cutoff and nearby Montgomery Lake. To the north, the Lee Creek Reservoir dominates the drainage of Lee Creek. Settled areas like Van Buren, Oak Park, and Moffett are shown alongside significant cultural sites such as the Fort Smith National Cem and several smaller family or community burial grounds including Czarnikow Cem and Peavyhouse Cem, providing a detailed look at the region's contemporary infrastructure and historical preservation.
