About this map

Sulphur City serves as a central point in this part of Washington County, where the terrain is defined by a complex network of hollows and ridges. The Middle Fork White River winds through the southeastern section, fed by numerous tributaries such as John Turner Fork and Hannah Br. This landscape, characterized by features like Lutman Hollow and Parricks Ridge, has fostered a scattered settlement pattern of small communities including Elkins, Hicks, and Wyola.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of family-named landmarks and burial sites across the township lines. Multiple cemeteries, such as Kings Cem near Black Oak and Salem Cem to the east, are situated along the winding rural roads. The mapping of Tatum Spring and various mountain gaps highlights the historical importance of water sources and natural passage points in this upland Arkansas environment.
