About this map

Rough River snakes through the center of this terrain, defining the local geography as it flows past the small communities of Olaton and Narrows. The settlement pattern follows the river's winding course and its many tributaries, such as Caney Cr and Huff Cr. Cultural and family history is anchored by sites like Haynes Cem, Axton Cem, and Grant Cem, which dot the uplands away from the floodplains.

Evidence of historical transportation networks is visible in the naming of modern thoroughfares. Railroad Bed Rd suggests a vanished rail line that once served the rural economy, while Barretts Ford Bridge and Davidson Station Rd point to early river crossings and transit points. The northern section is marked by drainage into Pond Run, while the southeastern corner is defined by the winding Browns Cr.
