About this map

Smackover and Norphlet anchor this portion of the South Arkansas oil fields, where the landscape is defined by a dense network of country roads and waterway drainages. The Smackover Cr snakes along the northern boundary, while smaller tributaries like Holmes Cr, Haynes Cr, and Flat Cr carve through the terrain toward the southern edge of the quadrangle near the outskirts of El Dorado.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local history in the numerous small burial grounds that dot the area, including Smackover Cem, Primm Cem, and the Burns - Ebenezer Cem. The transition from established town centers like Smackover to smaller settlements such as Sandy Land, Kenova, and Joyce City reflects the region's 20th-century development. The intersection of major corridors like Mount Holly Rd and Lisbon Rd highlights the traditional transport routes that have long connected these rural communities to the industrial hub of El Dorado.
