About this map

Scranton and Prairie View anchor the northern landscape of this Arkansas survey, situated just south of the Morrison Bluff area. The region is defined by a series of prominent east-west ridges including Prairie Mountain, Sand Ridge, and Pine Ridge, which separate agricultural valleys like Greasy Valley from the northern hills. Numerous family and community cemeteries, such as Ellsworth Cem, Butler Cem, and Wright Cem, are scattered across these ridges, offering significant detail for genealogical research in this part of Logan County.

Industrial activity is evident through various Quarries and a Shale Pit near the main settlements, while the southern portion of the map transitions into the Ozark National Forest at Rich Mountain. An Old Railroad Grade winds through the terrain past Pleasant Hill and Wilkins, marking the former transportation routes that once served these rural communities. The map also captures the headwaters and branches of Cane Creek and Big Shoal Creek as they navigate the valley floors.
