2017 Map of Nathan

About this map

Nathan sits at the crossing of several rural county roads in this 2017 survey of the southwest Arkansas timberlands. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of the Muddy Fork, where small tributaries like Bacon Cr and Brushy Cr drain south through forested tracts. Local history and genealogy are anchored by several remote burial grounds, including Polk Cem to the north and Corinth Cem near the settlement of Corinth. To the west, industrial water management is visible at Briar Plant Lake One and its sister reservoirs, while the Howard County Airport serves as a modern transportation link. The southern edge of the map transitions toward the small communities of Highland and Tokio, where the terrain flattens out around N Fork Ozan Cr and its associated watershed reservoirs.
