About this map

Umpire serves as the focal point of this southwestern Arkansas landscape, where the Umpire Post Office and several rural roads converge. The topography is defined by the winding course of the Saline River and its numerous tributaries, including White Oak Creek, Harris Creek, and Moore Creek. A high concentration of burial grounds, such as Cedar Hill Cemetery, Union Cemetery, and Mineola Cemetery, points to a long-established community and offers valuable data for family history researchers.

In the northern reaches of the quadrangle, Shady Lake and the Shady Lake Dam regulate the South Fork Saline River, while a dense network of timber-access routes, identified as Weyco roads, crisscross the timberlands. These include Weyco Road 52774 and Weyco Road 53510, illustrating the region's reliance on forest resources. Small settlements like Mineola, Faulkner Springs, and Galena remain as markers of the area's dispersed residential patterns.
