About this map

Mining operations and industrial infrastructure define this corner of Arkansas, anchored by the Central Coal and Coke Company and numerous workings including Woodson Mine, Number 6 Mine, and Number 14 Mine. This area is characterized by a dense concentration of small communities such as Midland, Huntington, and Mansfield that arose during the region's coal-producing years.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local history preserved in burial grounds across the landscape, from the Dake Cemetery in the north to the Buggy Hill Cemetery and James Fork Cemetery further south. Water management for industrial or community needs is evident in the presence of the Johnny Cake Lake Number One Dam and the Park Lake Dam, which sit among the drainage of James Fork and Cherokee Creek. Smaller, more local settlements like Frog Town and Burna appear alongside the larger towns, connected by a network of local roads and highways.
