1951 Map of Arden

About this map

Arden serves as a focal point in this Little River County landscape, where the St Louis San Francisco railroad cuts through the terrain. The map captures a rural Arkansas community shaped by its schools and houses of worship, featuring Nolen Sch and several churches including St John Ch, St Rest Ch, and Wade Chapel. The agricultural and timber character of the region is evident in the broad expanses of Burke Flats and Gum, while the southern boundary is defined by the winding course of the Red River. Smaller water features like Walnut Bayou and Horseshoe Slough indicate the low-lying, often marshy nature of the river bottomlands. For genealogists, the inclusion of small family or community burial sites like Pine Grove Cem, Bradshaw Cem, and Hemphill Cem provides specific locations for historical research in the areas surrounding Wallace and Pankov.
