About this map

De Gray Lake dominates the northern reaches of this Arkansas landscape, where the Caddo River flows through the border lands of Hot Spring Co and Clark Co. The 1970 survey captures a region of timber and water, defined by the winding paths of Brushy Creek, Little DeGray Creek, and Deceiver Creek. High points along Skyline Drive provide vantage over the wooded terrain, including a notable Lookout Tower situated south of the lake.

Rural life is anchored by small community centers like Greenville and the namesake settlement of DeGray. Genealogists will find significant detail in the dispersed burial grounds and places of worship that served these communities, including Golden Cem, New Hope Cem, and Hearn Ch. The map also preserves the route of the Old Tram Road, reflecting the area's history of logging and resource extraction alongside the development of the river basin.
