About this map

Extensive coal mining operations define the industrial landscape of this Sebastian County region during the late 1940s. Centered on the town of Huntington, the terrain is marked by numerous active extractions, including the Woodson Mine, Roy Smith Mine, and several unnamed Strip mines. The St Louis and San Francisco railroad provides the vital infrastructure for transporting coal from towns like Midland and Mansfield.

Beyond the industrial corridors, rural life persists in small communities such as Montreal and Beaulah. Local genealogy is anchored by landmarks like the Gooberhull School and several country houses of worship, including Pine Grove Church and Shiloh Church. The southern portion of the survey transitions into the Ouachita National Forest, where the terrain rises toward the Sugar Loaf Mountains and Midland Peak.
