About this map

Camp Chaffee and the sprawling Military Reservation dominate the landscape east of Fort Smith, reflecting the region's mid-century strategic importance. The city itself is a bustling nexus of river and rail commerce where the Arkansas River meets the Poteau River. Four major railroads, including the Kansas City Southern and St Louis and San Francisco, converge here, supporting local industry such as the Smelter and various Strip Mine operations.
