About this map

The Missouri Pacific railroad cuts through the Arkansas timberlands and fields of Drew County, anchoring rural communities like Cominto and Killin. At the time of this 1960 survey, the landscape was defined by a complex network of named waterways, including Hurricane Creek, Puncheon Creek, and Sandy Creek, which drain the varied terrain of the Marion, Franklin, and Bearhouse townships.

Genealogists can identify significant local landmarks such as Enon School near the settlement of Enon, as well as the Rash Cem and Moore Cem. The presence of an Experiment Station and a Sewage Disposal facility in the northwest corner near Killin reflects the transition of this rural area toward managed agricultural research and modern infrastructure. From Deane to the banks of Chinquapin Creek, the map preserves a detailed record of land use and small-town Arkansas life before later 20th-century developments.
