1951 Map of Burnville

About this map

Camp Chaffee Military Reservation dominates the northern half of this mid-century landscape, where its extensive network of tank or target tracks cuts through the ridges south of White Oak Ridge. The southern portion of the sheet reveals a more traditional rural Arkansas settlement pattern, anchored by small communities like Burnville and Milltown. Notable landmarks for family history include the Burnville School and Oak View Farm, alongside several local burial grounds such as Greenwood Cemetery and Dawson Cemetery. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent east-west geological features, most notably Devils Backbone Ridge, Backbone Ridge, and Pinnacle Mountain. These ridges separate the drainage basins of Vache Grasse Creek and Washburn Creek, influencing the placement of early roads like Chismville Road and Auburn Road.
