1971 Map of Sparkman NW

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The Ouachita River meanders dramatically through this riverine landscape, defining the boundary between Clark and Dallas counties. In the early 1970s, this area remained largely rural, characterized by its dense network of waterways and oxbow formations such as Round Lake and Long Lake. Small communities and agricultural pockets like Fairview and Shakertown anchor the higher ground away from the floodplains. Local life is centered around landmarks such as Rock Springs Church and Union Grove Church, while the Centerpoint Cemetery provides a genealogical touchstone for the region. Historical river crossings are evidenced by Nix Ferry on the Ouachita, while numerous tributaries including Terre Noire Creek, Deceiver Creek, and Cypress Creek drainage patterns illustrate the complex hydrology of the Arkansas timberlands.
