About this map

Friendship and Calmer serve as the primary nodes of settlement in this part of Cleveland County, as documented through aerial photography and field checks between 1968 and 1970. The landscape is defined by its rural density, centered on a network of community institutions such as Union Grove Ch and New Hope Ch. The drainage patterns of Brushy Creek and Kissee Creek dictate the placement of local roads and farmsteads, reflecting a long-standing reliance on the area's natural topography for development.

Genealogists will find particular value in the identification of Friendship Cem and several unnamed Cem locations near Rowell. Industry is represented by scattered Gravel Pits, while the southern reaches of the map show the community of Oak Grove and the Assembly of God Ch. Updated with photorevisions in the mid-1980s, the map tracks subtle changes in the built environment across several decades of Arkansas history.
