About this map

Little Texas sits as a central point of interest in this Arkansas landscape, where the Fourche LaFave River meanders through a series of high ridges and deep hollows. The settlement's name reflects the local identity during this era, situated along the Million Dollar Hwy and County Rd-74. The topography is defined by a dense network of named peaks and ridges, including Mud Lick Mountain, Polecat Mountain, and Bogus Ridge, which hem in a variety of interestingly named drainage basins like Panther Suck Hollow and Bread Tray Hollow.

Water plays a critical role in the geography here, with the East Weaver Creek and West Weaver Creek systems feeding into larger tributaries. For researchers, the map provides a look at the rural road network, from local thoroughfares like Sparrow Park Rd to forestry routes such as FS 852 Rd. These paths connect scattered residences with the surrounding natural landmarks, such as Ganders Peak and Linn Barker Mountain, illustrating the remote but structured settlement patterns of the Ouachita region.
