2014 Map of Sparkman NW

About this map

The Ouachita River meanders sharply through this territory, carving a complex boundary between Clark and Dallas Counties. The river's winding course creates landforms like Daughty Island and feeds a system of backwaters including White Oak Slough, Long Lake, and Round Lake. This landscape is defined by the intersection of river bottomlands and the network of local roads that connect small communities such as Shakertown and Fairview. Local history is anchored at the Centerpoint Cem near Fairview, while several creeks like Deceiver Cr, Cypress Cr, and Terre Noire Cr drain the surrounding woods. The map reflects a rural geography where township and range lines meet an intricate drainage system, preserving the layout of homesteads and connector routes like Vaden Rd and Malvern Camp Rd.
