About this map

The Kings River and its numerous tributaries, including the significant Dry Fork, define the landscape of this Arkansas region on the border of Madison and Carroll Counties. Small residential clusters and family names characterize the settlement pattern, with Marble serving as a primary point of reference in the southwest. The terrain is deeply incised by hollows such as Sugarcamp Hollow and Wagon Shed Hollow, while prominent heights like Walker Mtn and Chinkapin Mtn rise above the drainage basins.

Local history is preserved in several burial grounds, including White Oak Cem, Mert Cem, and Dean Cem, which are scattered throughout the hills near the community of Dean. Transportation in this rural area relies on a dense network of county roads that navigate the complex topography, connecting isolated homesites and the small landing strip at McAlister Airpark. The map documents a quiet, highland environment where water sources like Cave Spring and Big Onion Cr have historically shaped the placement of farmsteads and rural infrastructure.
