West Valley and the small settlement of Zafra anchor this portrait of the Arkansas-Oklahoma borderlands in the early 21st century. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Mountain Fork river and its many tributaries, including Choctaw Creek, Slate Creek, and Joshling Creek. Local navigation is facilitated by the Mountain Fork Bridge and a network of named timber and county roads like Polk Road 155 and Polk Road 30 that traverse the ridges. For those tracing local history, the map identifies significant family landmarks such as Stinett Cemetery and Gann Cemetery, alongside recreational sites like Camp Pioneer. The terrain is characterized by a series of distinct peaks, from Turkey Snout Ridge and Phillips Mountain in the north to Polecat Peak and Little Round Mountain near the center, illustrating the complex topography of the Ouachita region.
