About this map

Hector and several nearby rural communities anchor this Pope County landscape as it appeared in the late 2010s. The topography is defined by significant elevations like White Oak Mtn and Buck Mtn, with the northern reaches of the sheet transitioning into the Ozark National Forest. For genealogists, the map is remarkably dense with burial sites serving these small settlements, including Campground Cem, Walnut Grove Cem, and Kinslow Cem near Appleton.

Water plays a central role in the terrain, with Illinois Bayou and Dare Cr cutting through the northern valleys, while W-Fork-Point-Remove Cr Site 10 Reservoir and its companion reservoir to the north highlight modern water management in the region. Smaller hamlets like Caglesville, Buttermilk, and Welcome are connected by a network of local routes such as Cannaday Flat Rd and Rock Hollow Rd, illustrating the persistent rural settlement pattern of the Arkansas Ozarks foothills.
