About this map

The settlement of Capps anchors the northern portion of this Arkansas landscape, where the terrain transitions into the prominent heights of Gaither Mountain and Kennedy Mountain. This 2011 survey documents a region defined by its numerous family-named coves and points, including Sims Cove, Butler Cove, and Jones Point. The intricate drainage system of the West Fork Crooked Creek and Terrapin Creek carves through the Ozark topography, influencing the placement of early homesteads and cemeteries.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across the quadrangle, such as the Coker Cemetery, Wagley Cemetery, and Rogers Cemetery. These landmarks, alongside smaller communities like Grubb Springs and Gaither, reveal a persistent pattern of rural settlement. The infrastructure of the era is represented by Beaver Lodge Lake Dam and a network of dairy roads that serviced the local agricultural economy.
