1964 Map of Bunn

About this map

The Saline River and its dense network of tributaries, including Hurricane Creek and Moro Creek, define the topography of this South Arkansas borderland during the mid-1960s. This survey records a landscape where Dallas, Grant, and Cleveland counties meet, marked by timber-linked settlements like Bunn and Farindale. The mapping reveals a rural social geography centered around small community hubs such as Shady Grove Ch and Lee Ridge Ch. Genealogists will find particular value in the distribution of family and community burial grounds, with Hardcastle Cem, Hampton Springs Cem, Harrison Cem, and Wright Cem all clearly identified. The presence of a Gravel Pit and numerous logging-era roads suggests the local resource-based economy, while the intricate system of small waterways like Schoolhouse Branch and Cold Branch shows the natural drainage patterns of this heavily wooded river valley.
