1971 Map of Grays

About this map

Cache River dominates the western edge of this Woodruff County landscape, winding through a low-lying region defined by agricultural plots and complex drainage systems like Mill Ditch and Big Slash. The settlement pattern reflects a deeply rooted rural community, centered around small hubs such as Grays, DeView, and Wiville. The density of family and community burial grounds, including Martin Cem and Woodmans Cem, alongside numerous country churches like Good Hope Ch, provides a clear view of the social geography in the early 1970s.
