The St Louis Southwestern Ry cuts through the heart of Arkansas County, connecting the agricultural hub of Gillett with outlying settlements like Buffo and Hyden. This mid-1930s landscape is defined by the shifting course of the Arkansas River, which is flanked by complex bayous and abandoned meanders such as Moody Old River and Pecan Lake. The map reveals a densely settled rural society where community life centered on numerous family and local institutions, including the Prairie Union Ch & Sch and Ruffin Ch & Sch.
