About this map

Zafra lies at the southwestern edge of this survey, where the Oklahoma-Arkansas state line divides the high ridges of the Ouachita National Forest. The landscape is defined by its complex hydrography and prominent peaks, including Turkey Snout Ridge, Polecat Peak, and Cow Creek Mtn. The Mountain Fork river winds through the southern half of the map, fed by numerous creeks like Slate Cr and Joshling Cr.

For local history researchers, the map identifies small, significant sites such as the Stinett-Cem and Gann Cem, located east of the state line in Arkansas. The network of forest roads and trails, including the Beech Creek Trl and Walnut Mountain Trl, illustrates the managed nature of this timbered terrain during the early 21st century. The convergence of Le Flore, McCurtain, and Polk counties at various points highlights the political geography of this border region.
