About this map

The Arkansas River corridor serves as the primary artery of travel and commerce on this 1889 survey, where the Little Rock & Fort Smith RR connects emerging river towns like Morrillton, Atkins, and Plummerville. The reliance on river transit is evident through the many historic crossings, including Galla Rock Fy., Morgan's Fy., and Sevier Fy., alongside landing points like Stouts Ldg. at Stouts Point.

South of the river, the terrain rises sharply into the distinctive Petite Jean Mt. and Rose Creek Mountain, while the northern portion of the quadrangle is defined by a dense network of creeks feeding the West Fork Point Remove Cr. and East Fork Point Remove Cr.. Local landmarks such as Devils Knob and Wild Cat Mt. overlook scattered settlements like Appleton, Solgohachia, and Cleveland, providing a detailed look at the rural landscape of Conway and Perry counties before the turn of the century.
