About this map

Smackover and the industrial corridors of Union County anchor this detailed 2017 survey, illustrating the modern landscape of the South Arkansas oil and timber region. The map tracks the dense network of infrastructure supporting local industry, including numerous routes like Gas Plant Rd and Mitchum Rd that crisscross the terrain between Kenova and Standard Umpstead. This area is characterized by a high density of small family and community burial grounds, such as Primm Cem, Hicks Cem, and the Sycamore Grove Cem, which serve as vital markers for local genealogists.

Waterways like Smackover Cr and Haynes Cr define the drainage patterns of the lowland landscape. As the terrain moves south toward the northern edge of El Dorado, larger sites like Rest Haven Memorial Gardens appear alongside residential expansion. The map provides a clear look at the proximity of historic settlements like Norphlet and Sandy Land to the arterial roads and creek beds that have shaped the county's development for generations.
