About this map

Sans Bois Creek meanders through the heart of this Haskell County landscape, defining the local topography between the northern edge of Stigler and the southern reaches near Lafayette. The terrain is characterized by distinct landforms like Seven Devils Mtn and the broad expanses of Pruit Valley and Shropshire Valley. These natural features dictated the early settlement patterns and the placement of rural infrastructure, including the networks of county roads that navigate the varying elevations.

Genealogists and local historians can find significant markers of the area's heritage at the Siloam Springs Cem and the Old Panther Cem. The presence of Lone Star Steel Lake indicates the intersection of industrial development with the local environment, while Stigler Lake serves as a prominent landmark on the outskirts of the town. The map provides a detailed view of the rural sections of Townships 8 and 9 North, illustrating the transition from town streets to the outlying agricultural and wooded sections of the county.
