1964 Map of Cane Creek

About this map

Hurricane Creek and its many tributaries, such as Rosin Branch and George Creek, dominate this central Arkansas landscape at the border of Saline and Grant counties. The map reflects a mid-20th-century rural economy where small settlements like Cane Creek and Orion served as local hubs. Scattered churches and burial grounds, including Bethel Ch and the Jackson Cem, indicate established family communities. A notable transition in land use is visible with the presence of the Flying-D Ranch Landing Strip and several Gravel Pits, suggesting a shift toward more specialized agriculture and resource extraction. The northern boundary is marked by a prominent Lookout Tower and Roadside Park, while the network of unimproved roads and fence lines illustrates the intricate subdivision of the surrounding Banner and Simpson townships.
