About this map

The Quachita River defines the western landscape of this central Arkansas region, carving a path past Morrison Island and the rural community of Friendship. This 1964 survey, with updates from the early 1980s, captures a network of small family and community centers like Donaldson, which sits along the Missouri Pacific railroad line. The map is particularly rich for local historians, recording the location of essential social hubs such as Quachita High Sch and several country churches including Riverside Ch and Anchor Ch.

South of the river, the land is crisscrossed by numerous drainages like Saline Bayou and Easley Creek, where the terrain transitions into more wooded, dissected hills. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of local burial grounds, including Quachita Cem and Midway Cem, which serve as permanent markers of the area's long-standing families and settlements near the Hot Spring Co and Clark Co boundary.
