About this map

The Kings River defines the landscape of this Arkansas survey, winding through a complex series of bends and hollows that historically dictated settlement patterns. The community of Rockhouse serves as the focal point, situated near the confluence of Rockhouse Creek and the river, with the nearby Rockhouse Cemetery offering a primary record for local genealogy. The map reveals an intricate network of county roads following the natural contours of the terrain, connecting family-named landmarks like Williams Hollow, Hollingsworth Hollow, and Reynolds Hollow.

Topographical features including Turkey Wing Ridge, Mill Ridge, and Stanley Mountain tower over the river valley, while natural landmarks such as Trigger Gap and Allen Gap mark the historical transit routes through the hills. Water management is evident at the Lake Lucerene Dam to the north, while smaller springs and forks like Winona Springs and Warm Fork illustrate the hydrology that supported early farms and homesteads in the Ozark highlands.
