About this map

Bald Knob serves as the central hub of this White County landscape, where the Missouri Pacific railroad corridor intersects with a network of local roads and watercourses. The topography transitions from the elevated terrain of Russell Mountain and The Cliffs in the north and west down toward the alluvial plains of the Little Red River in the south. This transition is marked by numerous quarries and gravel pits, reflecting the area's geological utility.

Genealogists will find a wealth of localized data, including several rural cemeteries such as Shady Grove Cem and Bolden Cem, alongside country churches like Hopewell Ch and Liberty Valley Ch. The map also captures infrastructure critical to the community's mid-century growth, from the Municipal Airport to the Water Filtration Plant near Lake Bald Knob, illustrating the balance between the natural flow of Gum Creek and the engineered Road on Levee systems.
