About this map

Atkins serves as the focal point of this 2014 survey, situated just north of a complex water system where the Arkansas River meets the Petit Jean River. The landscape transitions from the residential streets of Atkins and the recreation waters of Lake Atkins to the significant elevation of Petit Jean Mtn in the south. This area is a patchwork of small settlements like Gold Hill, Winrock, and Galla Rock, the latter of which sits near the riverbanks.

Genealogists will find several burial sites preserved here, including Darr Cem, Bells Chapel Cem, and Atkins Catholic Cem. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the northern reaches of Petit Jean State Park, featuring a cluster of smaller water bodies such as Lake Amanda, Lake George, and Lake Jeannette. The river valley itself is defined by numerous islands and bottoms, including Sweeden Island and Crane Island, illustrating the historical reliance on the fertile lands of Carden Bottom.
