About this map

Fairfield and Elm Grove sit within a landscape of prominent peaks and winding waterways along the Oklahoma-Arkansas border. The terrain is defined by substantial heights such as Doublehead Mtn and Taylor Mtn, which rise above the drainages of Evansville Creek and Little Lee Cr. This 2019 survey documents a deeply rooted rural landscape where the settlement pattern follows the contours of the land, with small communities like Salem and Bell linked by a network of county roads.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial grounds distributed across the quadrangle, including the Fairfield Church Cem, Fourkiller Cem, and Oak Grove Cem. These sites, along with smaller landmarks like Honey Hill Cem and Chalk Bluff Cem, reflect the localized family and community histories of Adair County. The presence of Stillwell Orchard Pond and names like Sally Bull Hollow provide further insight into the local geography and historical land use of the region.
