About this map

Poyen serves as the central hub of this South Central Arkansas landscape, situated along a network of county roads and drainage systems. The town is flanked by smaller settlements like Lenham to the southeast and Fenter in the northeast, reflecting a decentralized rural development pattern. To the northwest, the Gifford Tram and Tram Cutoff suggest a history tied to local industry or transit, leading toward the community of Gifford.

The terrain is defined by its many waterways, including the winding Big Creek and Huskey Creek, which carve through the townships. For local history and genealogy research, the map highlights significant landmarks such as the Cunningham Cemetery and Poyen Cemetery. The presence of roads like Sulphur Springs Road and Country Club Road indicates the evolution of local infrastructure around these established watercourses and family settlements.
