About this map

Booneville sits at the northern edge of this Logan County landscape, where the valley floor of the Petit Jean River gives way to the rising elevations of the Ouachita National Forest. The transition from the open grazing lands of Earl Prairie to the high peaks of Huckleberry Mtn and Montgomery Mtn reflects the diverse terrain of the southern Ozark fringe. This survey documents a rural network of small settlements such as Carolan, Mixon, and Golden City, each historically centered around local agricultural and community hubs.

Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial sites throughout the townships, including Logan Hall Cem, Hopewell Cem, and Hamby Cem. The map traces the winding paths of Fletcher Cr and Brushy Cr as they drain south toward the Logan Co Scott Co border. Significant landmarks like Buck Knob and the waters of Keenan Lake provide clear reference points within the national forest boundary, illustrating the balance between settled homesteads and protected timberlands in this part of Arkansas.
