2024 Map of Hackett

About this map

Hackett and Pocola anchor this cross-border landscape where the Ozark foothills meet the Arkansas River Valley. The terrain is defined by the east-west ridges of Backbone Mtn and Scott Ridge, with the Oklahoma-Arkansas state line bisecting the survey. For genealogists and local historians, the area is rich with family-named landmarks and historical burial grounds, including the Old Hickory Cem and Vinita Cem near the town center. The transportation network is built upon the legacy of the Rock Island Rd, reflecting the era's reliance on rail for coal and timber transport. Waterways like the James Fork and Big Branch wind through the valleys, supporting small settlements like Bonanza and Jenson. These communities remain connected by a dense web of local routes such as Pocola Rd and Reaves Ave, providing a clear view of modern parcel development overlaid on long-standing land divisions.
