About this map

The Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad forms a distinct industrial corridor across the southern landscape of this 1970s survey, connecting the settlement of Casa to the surrounding hills. To the north, the Petit Jean River meanders through wide floodplains, including Carden Bottom and the wetlands of the Holla Bend National Wildlife Refuge. The map reveals a dispersed rural pattern of small settlements like Cotton Town, New Neely, and Liberty Hall, which are anchored by local landmarks such as Harris Cem and Sweet Home Ch.

Transitioning from the river valley to the heights of Rose Mountain and Cove Mountain, the terrain is marked by numerous extraction sites, including a Claypit and several Gravel Pits. Genealogists will find notable value in the family and community names attached to locations such as Needmore Cem, Bryant Cove Cem, and Faubus Cem, documenting the inhabitants of Perry, Yell, and Conway counties during this era.
