2024 Map of Faith

About this map

Mount Zion and the surrounding timbered lowlands of the Arkansas Coastal Plain define this landscape south of the Jefferson and Cleveland county line. This contemporary survey details a rural network of homesteads and small settlements like Faith and Randall connected by a web of local routes such as Gaddy Koonce Rd and Deer Hunting Club Rd. The terrain is deeply defined by the drainage of Sandy Bayou, Cane Creek, and Brushy Creek, which meander through the forested interior towards larger water bodies like Rust Lake Number One. For genealogists and local historians, the map serves as a precise guide to family landmarks, including Mount Zion Cem, Blackwell Cem, and Rose Lawn Memorial Garden. The persistence of these small communities and burial grounds across the rural landscape offers a clear view of the area's social geography in the twenty-first century.
