About this map

Glenwood sits at the heart of this Arkansas landscape, where the Caddo River winds through the Cossatot Mountains and Ouachita National Forest. The late 1970s infrastructure is clearly defined, showing the Missouri Pacific railroad corridor alongside mid-century local landmarks like a Drive-in Theater and a Landing Strip north of the river.

For genealogists and local historians, the sheet offers significant detail on rural community nodes, including settlements at Rosboro, Salem, and Caney Valley. Numerous small congregations and burial grounds are meticulously documented, from Powers Chapel Cem and Old Ebenezer Cem to several local churches such as Oak Grove Ch and Mt Zion Ch. The rugged topography is punctuated by named heights like Burnham Mountain and Reynolds Mountain, providing a clear view of the timbered uplands and river valleys on the border of Montgomery and Pike counties.
