2020 Map of Louann

About this map

Smackover Creek and its many tributaries, including Wolf Cr and N Fork Smackover Cr, define the drainage of this south Arkansas landscape near the Ouachita and Union County border. The settlement pattern is characterized by small, dispersed communities linked by a dense network of secondary roads such as Ouachita Road 50 and Ouachita Road 2. Key population centers include Louann, Elliott, and Frenchport, which serve as anchors for the surrounding rural homesteads. For genealogists, the map is particularly useful for its documentation of numerous burial grounds, such as Old Liberty Cem, Ebenezer Cem, and Mount Horeb Cem. These sites, along with the locations of Kirkland and Liberty, provide a clear picture of the region's late 20th-century social geography before further modernization or timber land consolidation altered the local community structure.
