It is a known producer of hydrocarbons in the subsurface of Oklahoma and Kansas. There is a high level of complexity associated with the Bentonville and other Mississippian formations resulting in inadequate correlations and poor well performance in some cases. This stems from the use of oversimplified depositional models and limited understanding of how the Mississippian System responded and evolved over time as a result of sea level variation at various frequencies.

The Hindsville quarry located in the northeastern portion of Washington County in Arkansas is the focus of this study. The objective of this study is to characterize the Reeds Spring at the Hindsville Quarry. The use of terrestrial light detecting and ranging(LiDAR) is used to assist in the characterization of the quarry.

Part of this ever-changing study is the nomenclature of the stratigraphy. From the early reports to today, several lithostratigraphic names have been proposed and abandoned to improve the accuracy and clarity of the understanding of Arkansas’ geology. Over these 160 years of study, 214 names have been proposed for the Paleozoic beds of Arkansas, with nearly 80 of them currently in use today.
