About this map

Robert S Kerr Reservoir dominates the northern landscape of this quadrangle, where the Arkansas River is harnessed by the Robert S Kerr Dam. The terrain is characterized by a series of prominent elevations south of the water, including Short Mtn, Gingle Mtn, and Brushy Knob, which rise above the surrounding lowlands of Blaine Bottom and Mulehead Bottom.

Settlement patterns center on the community of Cowlington and the smaller locale of Brent. For genealogists and local historians, the map is a significant record of rural burial sites, documenting several family and community grounds including Cowlington Cem, Star Cem, Short Mountain Cem, Brent Cem, and Cache Cem. The intersection of Haskell, Le Flore, and Sequoyah counties occurs here, with the landscape drained by numerous watercourses like Cache Cr and McCann Cr that feed into the larger reservoir system.
