About this map

Edmondson and Proctor serve as the primary nodes of settlement in this Crittenden County landscape, situated just west of the Mississippi River. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of waterways including Tenmile Bayou, Fifteenmile Bayou, and Kate Bayou, which weave through the agricultural flats. This 1981 survey illustrates the rural community life of the era through a high density of country churches such as New Bethlehem Ch, New Bethel Ch, and Truevine Ch.

An Old Railroad Grade cuts across the northern half of the map, marking the former path of rail transit that once connected these small towns. Significant topographical features include the prehistoric Mounds near the northeastern corner and the shift from land to river at Armstrong Bar. The presence of small settlements like Simsboro, Neuhardt, and Patoka alongside a local Landing Strip reflects the region's mid-century rural development and reliance on local transport networks.
