About this map

Raleigh serves as the focal point of this Smith County survey, where the Smith County Courthouse and Smith County Chancery Court Building anchor the local government center. The landscape is defined by the dense woodlands of the Bienville National Forest, which blankets much of the western and central portions of the quadrangle. Drainage for this timbered region is provided by Oakohay Cr and its numerous tributaries, including Little Oakohay Cr and Yellow Bill Cr.

Genealogical interest is particularly high in this area, given the concentration of family and community burial grounds such as Easterling Memorial Cem, Moulder Cem, and the Henderson Family Cem. The northern settlement of Shongelo and its namesake Shongelo Lake highlight the rural community structure that persists alongside larger forest tracts. Local transit is managed through a network of rural routes like Cohay Rd and Boykin Church Rd, connecting several country churches including Sharon Baptist Church and Corinth Baptist Church.
