1951 Map of Greenwood

About this map

The ridge-and-valley terrain of Sebastian County is prominently displayed here during the mid-twentieth century, characterized by the industrial presence of multiple Strip mines near Excelsior and Adamson. The map documents a fascinating transition between settlements, clearly distinguishing between Old Jenny Lind and New Jenny Lind, the latter of which is anchored by the Jenny Lind Town Church and Jenny Lind School. Along the northern edge, the Camp Chaffee Military Reservation begins its eastward sprawl, while the rugged spine of Devils Backbone Ridge separates the central valley from the James Fork drainage to the south.
