1964 Map of Bunn

About this map

Bunn stands at the southwestern edge of this Arkansas landscape, where the C R I & P RR cuts through the timberlands of Dallas County. The 1964 survey reveals a territory defined by its complex drainage network, anchored by the Saline River and Hurricane Creek to the east, and the long reach of Moro Creek through the center. Small rural hubs like Farindale and scattered religious centers such as Shady Grove Ch and Lee Ridge Ch suggest a quiet mid-century agricultural and timber economy. Genealogists will find a wealth of family-named burial sites across the townships of Chester, Calvert, and Madison, including the Hardcastle Cem, Hampton Springs Cem, and Harrison Cem. The presence of several Gravel Pits in the eastern sectors points to local industry tied to the region's river-deposited resources during the early 1960s.
