The Ozark Mountain region of Missouri and Arkansas as it appears along the line of the Kansas City southern railway . to the Immigration Ag-ent, K. C. S. Ry., Kansas City, Mo. Scott County, Arkansas Scott, Sebastian, Polk and Sevier counties,Arkansas, belong to the southern section ofthe Ozark Plateau. In their general charac-teristics they resemble the counties of thenorthern section, the soils and climatic con-ditions being similar. The contour of thecountry is, however, more abrupt, the ele-vations greater, the hilly areas larger and insome localities there are evidences of for-mer volcanic disturbances which do not ap-pear in the northern section. Scott County is located about the centerand on the western border of the state, withan area of about 1,000 square miles. It ismade up of several wide valleys, runningeast and west, with an intervening broken,hilly country, ranging in altitude from fiOOto 2,700 feet. The greater part of the soilis sandy loam, with red clay subsoil. Thelands in the well known Fourche Lafave,Poteau, Petitjean and Dutch Creek valleysare very fertile, and equally productive.
