About this map

Bearden and the surrounding timberlands of the Gulf Coastal Plain are detailed in this survey, showcasing a landscape defined by meandering creek bottoms and small rail-adjacent communities. The area is characterized by the convergence of several significant watercourses, including Freeo Cr and Two Bayou, which drain the low-lying terrain. The map records the proximity of industrial and educational hubs, specifically the Southern Arkansas University Tech campus located near the Shumaker area, reflecting the region's post-war transition toward technical education and modern industry.

Small settlements like Eagle Mills, Millville, and Salem are situated along the primary transport corridors, with a dense network of county and forest roads like Ouachita Road 287 and Ouachita Road 97 connecting the isolated homesteads and timber tracts. The presence of Evans Cem and various unnamed family cemetery plots near Dogwood Cr provide essential points of interest for genealogists tracing the rural residents of this corner of Ouachita and Calhoun counties.
