About this map

The Saline River flows through the northeast corner of this Arkansas landscape, carving a winding path through Calvert and Madison townships. In the mid-1960s, the rural character of the area was defined by a network of drainage systems like Moro Creek and Hurricane Creek, which supported the timber and agricultural lands of Dallas, Cleveland, and Grant counties. The C R I & P railroad line cuts through the southwestern corner near the settlement of Bunn, providing a critical transportation link for the region's industry.

Family history is deeply etched into the land via numerous rural burial grounds and places of worship. Genealogists can locate sites such as Hampton Springs Cem, Hardcastle Cem, and the Wright Cem. Local centers of community life are centered around Farindale and spiritual landmarks like Lee Ridge Ch and Shady Grove Ch, reflecting the dispersed but connected nature of South Arkansas settlement during this era.
