About this map

The Leaf River meanders through the heart of this Smith County landscape, defining a network of tributaries including Ichusa Cr and Shongelo Cr. The 2012 topography reveals a mix of timberland and industry, most notably the Shongelo Creek Oil Field situated in the western portion of the quadrangle. Small settlements such as Sylvarena and Mount Pleasant anchor the road system, which is a combination of county routes and forest service roads like US Forest Service Road 533.

Genealogists and local historians will find several rural burial grounds including Mount Nebo Cem, Royals Cem, Johnson Cem, and Trinity Cem. The terrain rises toward Flat Rock Hill in the southwest, while the northern reaches are dotted by the Spring Lakes. The map captures a moment when the local economy remained tied to the land through both traditional settlement patterns and natural resource extraction.
