About this map

Amity and the surrounding river bottoms of Clark and Pike counties dominate this 2014 survey. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Caddo River, which flows past landmarks like Sugarloaf Knob toward the waters of De Gray Lake in the southeast. This contemporary record captures the region's intersection of rural industry and protected lands, with the Ouachita National Forest occupying the northwestern corner.

Genealogists will find a detailed network of small community sites, including the settlements of Welsh and Glenwood. The map preserves the locations of numerous family and church burial grounds, such as Newcomb Cem, Shiloh Cem, and Dillard Cem, which are scattered among the ridges of Trap Mtn and Little Mtn. The transition from upland forests to the more developed corridors along Us-70 and the various county roads illustrates the modern spatial organization of these Arkansas timber and river valley communities.
