About this map

The Dardanelle Russellville Railroad serves as a primary industrial artery on this 1990s-era map, connecting the riverfront city of Dardanelle to Russellville across the expansive waters of Lake Dardanelle. This landscape is defined by the managed flow of the Arkansas River, anchored by the massive Dardanelle Lock and Dam and its associated Powerplant. West of the river, the terrain rises sharply into Mount Nebo State Park and Jones Mountain.

For family historians, the sheet is exceptionally dense with rural burials and congregations, including Brearley Cem, Louvenia Cem, and the Gum Springs Cumberland Ch. Small outposts like Pisgah, Elberta, and Prosperity dot the drainages of Harris Creek and Smiley Bayou, illustrating a settlement pattern tied to the creeks feeding into the Arkansas valley before the modern impoundment changed the local hydrology.
