2011 Map of Hartford

About this map

Sugar Loaf Mountain and Oklahoma Peak dominate the topography of this Arkansas-Oklahoma border region, where the grid-like settlement of Hartford serves as a local hub. The landscape is defined by its numerous small burial grounds and watercourses, illustrating a history of dispersed rural communities. Water resources are anchored by Sugar Loaf Lake and the Sugar Loaf Lake Dam, with various branches and creeks like Riddle Creek and Gap Creek carving through the terrain. Evidence of older settlement patterns persists in the names of small communities such as Slattenville, Slaytonville, and Apex. This 2011 survey captures the transition between the developed residential streets of the towns and the winding county roads that navigate the surrounding ridges and peaks, providing a clear record of the area's contemporary geography while preserving its historical place names.
