2014 Map of Huntington

About this map

Huntington and Mansfield anchor this 2014 survey of the Sebastian County landscape, where small mining and rail settlements are threaded through the valleys of the Sugar Loaf Mountains. The topography is dominated by the prominent Devils Backbone Ridge to the north and the rising elevations of the Ouachita National Forest along the southern border. This map captures the intricate human geography of the region, from the cluster of homes at Frog Town and Arkola to the numerous burial grounds like Buggy Hill Cem and James Fork Cem. Significant watercourses, including James Fork and Prairie Creek, carve through the terrain, illustrating the natural drainage patterns that shaped the placement of early homesteads and road networks like the Montreal Cutoff.
