About this map

Abandoned Ammunition Depot facilities dominate the southern landscape of this survey, marking a transition from wartime industrial use to postwar educational and law enforcement purposes. The presence of the Southwest Technical Institute and the State Police Academy on the former depot grounds illustrates the repurposing of military infrastructure in mid-century Arkansas. Settlements like Eagle Mills and Millville follow the corridor of the St Louis Southwestern railroad, reflecting the importance of rail transport to these communities.

Hydrology is defined by the winding paths of Freeo Creek, Mizzell Creek, and Brushy Creek, while the Ouachita Co Calhoun Co boundary divides the terrain. Local history is anchored by Evans Cem and the small communities of Salem and Shumaker, providing essential locations for genealogical research. The map also documents numerous Gravel Pits and a modern Fish Farm, indicating a diverse economy based on natural resource extraction and land management.
