2014 Map of South Fort Smith

About this map

Fort Smith and its southern extension across the Oklahoma Arkansas border define this transition from urban centers to the wooded ridges of the Arkansas River Valley. The terrain is marked by significant elevation changes, rising from the banks of the Poteau River and Arkansas River to named heights such as George Mtn and Brooks Stephens Mtn. This period shows the continued industrial and transport presence in the region, with the Fort Smith Municipal Airport anchoring the east while a Saw Mill and several quarries operate near White Bluff. Local history is preserved in several burial grounds, including the historic Oak Cem and the more remote White Bluff Cem. The map tracks the shift from the dense street grids of South Fort Smith to smaller settlements like Arkoma, Pocola, and Enterprise, where the land begins to follow the natural contours of Cedar Cr and Massard Cr.
