About this map

Okolona anchors the southwestern portion of this Clark County survey, reflecting a rural landscape defined by its cemeteries and watercourses during the mid-1970s. Numerous family and community burial sites, including Peeples Cem, Ross Cem, and Wier Cem, are scattered across the terrain, offering significant value for genealogical research. The Missouri Pacific railroad cuts through the southern section, serving the Kathleen Siding and highlighting the area's historical reliance on rail transport.

The landscape is deeply etched by Terre Noire Creek and its many tributaries, such as Love Creek and Lick Creek. Distinctive landmarks like the Okolona Lookout Tower and a Radio Tower rise above the timbered hills. Small settlements and crossroads like Bethel, Smyrna, and Dobyville are connected by a network of local routes, including the Ashworth Road and various named trails like Marlowe Trail, illustrating the persistent rural settlement patterns of this Arkansas region.
