2024 Map of Umpire

About this map

Umpire serves as a focal point in this portion of Howard County, where the southern foothills of the Cossatot Mountains meet a complex network of timber access roads and river systems. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of the Saline River and its tributaries, including the South Fork Saline River and Harris Creek. This 2024 map illustrates a region deeply connected to the Ouachita National Forest and the Caney Creek Wilderness, highlighting the persistent rural character of southwest Arkansas. Small community clusters like Mineola and Galena are documented alongside numerous family and church burial grounds such as Mineola Cem, Union Cem, and Cedar Hill Cem. The extensive network of Weyco roads indicates the area's contemporary reliance on industrial forestry, while the scattered cemeteries provide a genealogical trail for families rooted in the Arkansas timberlands.
