Hatfield and Vandervoort anchor this mid-1980s topography of Polk County, where the Kansas City Southern railroad cuts through the western reaches of the Ouachita National Forest. The map reveals a landscape defined by its creek valleys and rural landmarks, featuring numerous local burial grounds including Lone Valley Cemetery, Foote Cemetery, and the Whole Council of God Cemetery. Small-scale industry is evident through scattered Shale Pit extractions, while the geography of the era remains deeply tied to the land's hydrology. Waterways like Barren Creek, Buffalo Creek, and Little Hickory Creek thread through the terrain, with many crossings still marked simply as Ford. From the Union Church to the curiously noted Old Cave, the sheet provides a detailed look at the interface between established settlements and the wooded national forest during this period of the late 20th century.
