About this map

The Cossatot River defines the central axis of this Sevier County landscape, characterized by numerous river crossings and small agricultural settlements. The rural community of Geneva sits in the southwest, connected by a network of county roads to Red Wing to the north. These settlements represent the enduring residential patterns of the Arkansas timber and farming country, where land use is dictated by the drainage of various creeks including Buck Creek, Burke Creek, and Sycamore Creek.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several key landmarks, including the Woffords Chapel Cemetery and New Bethel Cemetery. The map documents a heritage of river navigation through specifically named crossings such as Rolling Shoal Ford, McKinney Ford, and Battle Ford. To the southeast, the Bethel Lookout Tower stands near Johnson Lake, serving as a prominent navigational marker for the surrounding forested hillsides.
