About this map

Ouachita National Forest dominates this landscape along the border of Oklahoma and Arkansas, where the settlement of Zafra and its associated Zafra Sch sit near the winding banks of Murry Creek. The terrain is defined by high ridges like Walnut Mountain and Cedar Mountain, which separate the various drainages flowing into the Mountain Fork. This mid-century survey records the rural infrastructure of the era, including scattered houses of worship like Alder Springs Ch and West Valley Ch.

Evidence of local history and genealogy is found in the smaller burial grounds such as Stinett Cem and Gann Cem. The presence of Camp Pioneer and numerous named water bodies like Turkey Snout Creek and Pollock Branch indicates a region deeply tied to its natural geography and timber resources. The map also captures the precise boundary intersections of Le Flore, Polk, and McCurtain Co, documenting the political geography of this borderland during the 1950s.
