1958 Map of Zafra

About this map

The Ouachita National Forest dominates this mid-century landscape along the rugged border of Oklahoma and Arkansas. The small settlement of Zafra anchors the southwestern corner, featuring the local Zafra Sch and access to numerous winding waterways like Murry Creek and Cow Creek. The terrain is defined by significant elevations, including Polecat Peak and Walnut Mountain, while the Mountain Fork river cuts through the northern timberlands. Local history is preserved in the location of several remote landmarks, such as Alder Springs Ch and the Stinett Cem. This survey illustrates a quiet era of mountain life where the geography of the Ouachita Mountain range dictated the placement of small communities and the winding path of the Little River.
