1964 Map of Cane Creek

About this map

Hurricane Creek and the Saline River shape the low-lying timber and agricultural lands of Grant and Saline counties in the early 1960s. The landscape is defined by small, dispersed communities and a network of rural churches and cemeteries that anchor the local genealogy. Important landmarks include the Forest Tower Ch and its accompanying Lookout Tower, which stand near the county line. The map captures a moment when traditional land use, represented by several Gravel Pits, coexists with newer developments like the Flying D Ranch Landing Strip. Moving south through the area, U.S. 167 serves as the primary artery, passing near the Bethel Ch and the settlement of Cane Creek. Along the creek bottoms, numerous named branches like Twomile Branch and McKinney Creek drain the terrain toward the river, illustrating the complex hydrology of this central Arkansas region.
