Powhatan and Robeline (and Transylvania) are the only ones I know I have been through. Other names are not familiar.

My grandparents were from Sikes.

Fun fact: Mt Lebanon had a college in the late 19th-early 20th century.

Downsville


My grandparents had a place off hwy 145 back towards Choudrant about 4-5 miles from downtown Downsville, I spent a lot of time down there as a kid.


Mom went to the Downsville school.

Are those actually incorporated villages, or are they mostly unincorporated?

Gotcha. My family is all over that area, but most are on the 552 side back towards Darbonne and Ouachita. A few out towards Sibley, and even some with kids still at the school.

I bet you better pay real close attention to the speed limit signs when you're getting close to any one of those towns

I've been to 7 of the 25. Oak Ridge is beautiful, not far from the big new Meta data center.
