1952 Map of Fountain Hill

About this map

Fountain Hill serves as the central hub of this South Arkansas landscape, situated along the county line between Drew and Ashley counties. The town is surrounded by a high density of small family and community burial grounds, including Kirkpatrick Cem, Flat Creek Cem, and Norris Hill Cem, which provide significant genealogical touchstones for the region. An Old Railroad Grade cuts a long diagonal path through the terrain, marking the former infrastructure of the local timber or transit economy. The land is defined by a network of winding waterways such as Flat Creek, Fountain Creek, and the uniquely named Chemin-A-Haut Creek to the east. Numerous Gravel Pits dot the area, particularly near the Roadside Park, suggesting active local industry at the time of the survey. The presence of Shiloh Ch and Spring Hill Cem further illustrates the established rural community structure typical of this era.
