Huntington and Mansfield anchor this 2020 record of the Arkansas-Oklahoma borderlands, where the landscape is defined by the sharp ridges of the Sugar Loaf Mountains and Devils Backbone Ridge. The map documents a dense network of rural settlements like Frog Town, Arkola, and Montreal, often clustered near established family cemeteries and local landmarks. To the south, the terrain rises into the Ouachita National Forest, while the northern reaches follow the winding courses of James Fork and Prairie Cr. The concentration of burial sites, including Buggy Hill Cem and the Hartford Memorial Cem, provides significant value for genealogists tracing family lineages in this corner of Sebastian County. These features, combined with named elevations like Midland Peak and Number 5 Hill, reveal the enduring geographic character of a region shaped by both its mountain topography and small-town roots.
