The Arkansas River and Fourche LaFave River define the alluvial landscape of Perry and Conway Counties, where the town of Houston sits between the water and rising terrain. This survey illustrates a network of rural roads connecting family-centered landmarks and riverbottom agriculture. To the west, the topography steepens at Perry Mtn and Toms Mountain, while the fertile lowlands of Sandtown Bottoms and Portland Bottoms reveal the importance of the river's path. Local genealogists will find several burial sites noted, including Houston Cem, Leach Cem, Bland Cem, and May Cem. The map also details the southeastern settlement of Bigelow and several prominent ridges such as Bunker Hill and Rocky Point. Small waterways like Cypress Creek and Mill Creek drain the area's many gaps and bends, including the pronounced Cypress Bend along the main river channel.
