2014 Map of Strong

About this map

The Strong Oil Field and the Arkansas-Louisiana state line define this southern Union County landscape. The town of Strong sits at the intersection of the Strong Hwy and the local road network, serving as a hub for the surrounding timber and oil country. Evidence of the area's deep-rooted community structure is found in the high concentration of family and community burial grounds, such as Sweet Home Cem and Pilgrims Rest Cem. The terrain is deeply etched by a network of waterways including S Lapile Cr and the multiple branches of Frank Lapere Cr. Moving south toward the Arkansas Louisiana border, the landscape transitions into more remote territory near the Spring Hill Church and the smaller settlements of Victoria and Union. This survey provides a precise view of the rural infrastructure at the start of the 2010s, from the Jones Lake Cutoff to the scattered oil industry footprints.
