About this map

The Caddo River and its various forks anchor this West-Central Arkansas landscape, where the settlement of Glenwood serves as a central hub at the junction of several drainage systems. This 2011 survey reveals a region defined by its narrow valley roads and scattered community centers, such as Salem and Rosboro. For genealogists, the map is particularly rich with burial sites, including the Powers Chapel Cemetery and both the Ebenezer Cemetery and the Old Ebenezer Cemetery, providing specific geographic markers for family research in Montgomery County.

Industrial and physical landmarks further distinguish the area, from the Pigeon Roost Mine in the northeast to the timber-related transport of the Juneau Spur. Elevation is defined by several prominent peaks, most notably Reynolds Mountain, Markham Mountain, and Burnham Mountain, which overlook a network of creeks like Sweetwater Creek and Mud Lick Creek. The southern portion of the sheet transitions toward the Antoine River near Caney Valley, illustrating the typical rural Arkansas transition between river-fed lowlands and rising hills.
