2011 Map of Strong

About this map

The Strong Oil Field anchors the northern landscape of this Union County quadrangle, situated near the settlement of Strong. The area is characterized by a network of rural routes and creek systems, including South Lapile Creek and the North Fork Frank Lapere Creek, which drain the timbered and oil-rich grounds of southern Arkansas. The map reveals a high density of rural burial grounds, such as Pilgrims Rest Cemetery, Hughes Cemetery, and Good Hope Cemetery, which serve as vital markers for genealogical research in these small communities. Small population centers like Victoria, Union, and Lapile are connected by local roads like Jones Lake Cutoff and State Line Rd, the latter tracing the border where Arkansas meets Louisiana. The interplay of industrial resource extraction and traditional community landmarks defines this region's modern character.
