About this map

Frog Bayou carves a deep path through Crawford County, defining the drainage patterns that shaped local settlements like Mountainburg and Chester. This 2011 topographic study illustrates how the valley floor remains a critical corridor for transportation and water management, anchored by the Lake Fort Smith Dam in the southeast. The landscape is marked by a series of prominent rises including Cartwright Mountain, Meadow Mountain, and Locust Mountain, which separate the various creek branches.

Genealogists can find significant local-history data through the several documented burial sites across the quadrangle, such as Schaberg Cemetery, Basham Memorial Cemetery, and Hillcrest Cemetery. Small communities and named landmarks like Artist Point and Schaberg appear alongside natural features like Maddux Spring and Norman Hollow, providing a detailed view of the rural Crawford County highlands during the early 21st century.
