About this map

The Arkansas and Oklahoma border runs through this detailed 1980s landscape, where industrial activity and rural settlements meet along the ridge of Backbone Mountain. The map shows a region heavily shaped by resource extraction, featuring numerous strip mines, quarries, and gas wells scattered between Pocola and Hackett. The industrial presence is balanced by several community landmarks, including the Old Hickory Cem and Liberty Hill Ch, providing essential reference points for genealogists tracing family histories in Sebastian and Le Flore counties.

Water plays a central role in the topography, with the James Fork winding across the southern half of the sheet, joined by tributaries like Ivy Branch and Cedar Creek. The presence of the Railroad and an Old Grade illustrates the transportation network that once supported local mining operations. High-elevation points like Cedar Knobb and Gray Mtn offer a clear view of the transition from the rugged hills to the developed valleys near Bonanza.
