About this map

Helena, Petersburg, and Friendsville anchor a landscape defined by an intricate network of rural roads and watercourses in the early 21st century. The terrain is drained by systems such as Little Bonpas Cr, Storckman Cr, and Crawfish Cr, which weave between the rectangular grid of county roads. Industrial activity is represented by the West Ruark Oil Field in the northern portion of the quadrangle, while Mesa Lake provides a notable water feature to the southwest.

Genealogists and local historians will find a high density of burial sites throughout the area, including Corrie Cem, Moffett Cem, and the Craig Farm Cem. The small settlement of Lancaster sits near the western edge, while Orio serves as a junction point further east. This map provides a clear record of the enduring agricultural and residential patterns of the region, documenting the proximity of family farms to historic community centers and churches like Bethel Cem.
