2011 Map of Gardner

About this map

The Aurelle Oil and Gas Field and the small settlement of Aurelle anchor this landscape along the Arkansas-Louisiana border in Union County. The terrain is defined by a dense network of waterways, including Little Bayou de Loutre, South Lapile Creek, and Mark Beach Bayou, which carve through the wooded lowlands. Local history is deeply etched into the land through numerous rural burial grounds such as Cane Creek Cemetery, Forest Hill Cemetery, Pleasant Hill Cemetery, and Free Hope Cemetery, indicating long-standing community ties in this timber and resource-rich corridor. The map details a transition from the southern reaches of Arkansas near Gardner down to State Line Rd, where the geography continues into Louisiana. A web of local routes like Aurelle Rd and Oakland Bridge Rd connects these scattered homesteads and industrial sites, providing a clear record of early 21st-century rural infrastructure.
