About this map

Elba and the Middle Fork Little Red River anchor the southern portion of this landscape, where the terrain transitions from river bottoms to high elevations like Styles Mtn and Angora Mtn. This Arkansas Ozark territory is defined by its numerous hollows and steep bluffs, including Salt Cave Bluff and Fawn Bluff. The network of country roads connects high-elevation settlements like Oxley and Harness, following routes such as the Old Stagecoach road that speak to the region's historical transport patterns.

Local history and genealogy are preserved in sites like Kuykendall Cem and Mabrey Cem, alongside the evidence of old rural industries found in Sawmill Hollow and Mill Br. The map highlights the intersecting boundaries of Searcy, Van Buren, and Stone counties, showcasing a rugged topography where small communities like Flag and Campbell are separated by deep drainages like Hurricane Cr and Tick Cr.
