About this map

St Francis National Forest dominates the center of this terrain where the delta lowlands meet the rising ridges of eastern Arkansas. The Saint Francis River snakes along the eastern edge of the quadrangle, creating a complex series of river features including Hale Bend, Browns Bend, and Jeffersonville Bend. This winding watercourse defines the boundary between the forest and the open bottomlands near Haleside.

Family history and local heritage are well-preserved through numerous rural burial sites scattered across the landscape, such as Morning Star Cem and La Grange Cem. The settlement of La Grange sits at the intersection of State Hwy 121 and Lee Road 215, serving as a primary point of reference in a region defined by its timber and river economy. In the north, Bear Cr Lake is tucked into the hollows of the national forest, illustrating the varied topography of the Crowley's Ridge area.
