About this map

Friendship and Calmer serve as the primary hubs in this rural Arkansas landscape, situated where the timberlands of the Miller and Rowell townships meet. The map reveals a community structured around small country institutions, notably the Woodlawn Sch and several houses of worship such as Union Grove Ch and New Hope Ch. These landmarks, along with family-associated locations like Friendship Cem, provide a clear picture of the mid-century social geography in Cleveland County.

The terrain is defined by a dendritic network of waterways including Brushy Creek, Kissee Creek, and Hudgin Creek, which carve through the wooded hills. Economic activity is represented by localized Gravel Pits and the corridor of State Route 114, connecting the settlement of Rowell in the south to the northern reaches of the quadrangle. This detailed topographic record preserves the locations of numerous individual farmsteads and rural dwellings as they existed at the start of the 1970s.
