2017 Map of Sparkman NW

About this map

The Ouachita River meanders sharply through this 2017 survey, defining the border between Clark and Dallas counties. This portion of South Central Arkansas is characterized by a dense network of water bodies, including White Oak Slough, Long Lake, and Terre Noire Cr, which feed into the primary river system. Local infrastructure is anchored by small settlements like Fairview and Shakertown, connected by a web of county roads such as Old River Rd and Haltom Rd. The presence of Nix's Ferry Rd suggests a landscape once reliant on river crossings, while family and community history can be traced through sites like Centerpoint Cem and landmarks like Daughty Island. The terrain is marked by numerous creeks and branches, such as Deceiper Cr and Beaver Cr, illustrating the complex hydrology of the region's bottomlands.
