2020 Map of Staves

About this map

Saline River bottomlands define the geography of this Arkansas region, where the river winds through a complex system of sloughs and creeks. The landscape is marked by the distinct White Oak Bluff and water bodies including Upper Canada Lake and Lower Canada Lake. Family and community history is deeply rooted here, evidenced by numerous small burial grounds such as Lively Cem, Clement Cem, and Kennedy Cem scattered across the countryside. The unincorporated community of Staves serves as a central point in an area where the county lines of Grant, Dallas, and Cleveland meet. The extensive network of forestry roads, including Forestry Rd and Forest Rd 9205, suggests the continuing importance of timber and land management in this part of the state.
