About this map

Solgohachia sits at the base of Washington Mountain, anchoring a landscape of tight-knit agricultural and religious communities in Conway County. In the early 1960s, this region was defined by its scattered settlements and numerous rural congregations, such as Vinson Chapel, Wesley Chapel, and the community around Saint Vincent. The terrain is dominated by a series of distinct peaks including Pigeon Roost Mountain, McLaren Mountain, and Steele Mountain, which partition the drainage of Point Remove Creek and its many branches.

Evidence of local history is preserved in the high density of family and community burial grounds, including Middleton Cemetery, Forville Cemetery, and St Marys Cemetery. Small rural centers like Lanty and Wonderview are connected by a network of state routes, including State Route 95 and State Route 9, showing the established travel patterns before modern highway expansion. The presence of a Gravel Pit and several named mountain ridges suggests a local economy tied closely to the physical geography of the Arkansas interior.
