About this map

Fairfield and Salem anchor this portion of the Oklahoma-Arkansas borderlands, a landscape defined by prominent peaks and the winding course of Evansville Cr. The terrain is punctuated by significant elevations including Davis Mtn, Taylor Mtn, and the curiously named Killer Mtn, which overlook a network of rural roads such as City Park Rd and Bethel Rd.

Genealogical interest is centered on well-documented burial grounds including Fourkiller Cem, Chalk Bluff Cem, and Ewing Chapel Cem, which are scattered among the drainages of Little Lee Cr and Peavine Cr. The presence of the Stillwell Orchard Pond suggests the agricultural character of the region, while the surveyor's grid captures the quiet, dispersed settlement pattern typical of Adair County during this period.
