About this map

The Fourche LaFave River meanders across the northern portion of this landscape, carving distinctive river features like Calfneck Bend and Horseshoe Bend as it flows toward the expansive waters of Harris Brake. The terrain shifts dramatically to the south, where the high ridges of the Ouachita National Forest dominate. This area includes landmarks such as Link Mtn and Sausmann Mtn, with the Maumelle River and its various tributaries like Houston Cr and Brown Creek cutting through the timberland.

Settlement patterns are concentrated along the road corridors, with small communities including Thornburg, Harmony, and Williams Junction serving as local hubs. For genealogists, several burial sites are documented across the quadrangle, including the Perryville Cem, Antioch Cem, and Hope Cem. The presence of Sausmann Falls and numerous bluffs like Slaty Bluff highlights the varied elevation and water systems of central Arkansas.
