1963 Map of Garner

About this map

Garner and Higginson anchor the southeastern portion of this landscape, situated along the Missouri Pacific railroad. The terrain is defined by a complex network of ridges and drainages, most notably Honey Hill Ridge and Peanut Ridge, which divide the lowland Des Arc Bayou from the surrounding highlands. This 1963 survey captures the rural character of White County, documenting numerous local landmarks that served the surrounding farmsteads, including Honey Hill Ch, Sixteenth Section Ch, and Copperas Springs Ch. Evidence of earlier transport is visible in the Old Railroad Grade north of the Searcy Country Club. To the north, the southern edge of Searcy begins to encroach on the rural landscape near Gin Creek, while family history is preserved at sites like Gum Springs Cem and Weir Cem.
