About this map

The Fourche La Fave River snakes through the northern reaches of this landscape, defining a series of prominent river bends including Horseshoe Bend and Calfneck Bend. This waterway served as a vital geographic anchor for the early development of Perryville and the surrounding rural communities. Further south, the terrain shifts into the protected woodland of the Ouachita National Forest, where significant elevation gains lead to peaks like Sausmann Mtn and Link Mtn.

Cultural and genealogical history is concentrated in settlements like Thornburg, Antioch, and Williams Junction. The map provides specific locations for several burial grounds, including Hope Cem, Antioch Cem, and Harmony Cem, offering valuable points of reference for family historians. The eastern edge is dominated by Harris Brake Public Fishing Lake, an expansive water feature that reflects the area's integration of natural resource management and outdoor recreation near the Perry and Pulaski county line.
