About this map

Okolona anchors the northern reaches of this rural Arkansas landscape, situated where the terrain transitions into the creek bottoms of the S Fork Terre Noire Cr. This region of Clark County is defined by a complex network of waterways, including the winding Middle Creek and several distinct wetlands like Grassy Lake and Beaver Slough. These hydrologic features historically dictated the placement of early settlements and road networks that still crisscross the countryside today.

Local history and genealogy are well-preserved through several landmarks, including the Missionary Grove Church and multiple burial grounds such as Rome Cem and Old Rome Cem. The map traces the rural community of Burtsell and numerous family-named routes like Orsburn Rd, McNabb Rd, and Dickerson Rd, which speak to the area's agricultural roots and long-standing land ownership patterns across the Clark and Nevada County lines.
