About this map

Grapevine and the surrounding timberlands of Grant County are defined by a dense network of watercourses and rural community landmarks in the mid-1960s. The landscape is carved by Derrieusseaux Creek and Hurricane Creek, where a Gaging Station monitors the flow. This era shows a community rooted in its local institutions, evidenced by the numerous small congregations and burial grounds such as Heddon Chapel, St Paul Ch, and the White Cem.

An interesting pattern of land use is visible near the Darysaw and Madison township boundaries, where clearings for agriculture and residential plots like Pine Ridge Ch break up the wooded terrain. From the Gravel Pits in the north to the southern reaches of Little Creek, the map provides a look at a traditional Arkansas rural landscape before more modern development patterns altered the distribution of its country schools and churches.
