2017 Map of Gurdon

About this map

Gurdon serves as the central hub of this Clark County landscape, where a grid of town streets meets the established rail corridors of southern Arkansas. The surrounding area is defined by a dense network of waterways, including Terre Noire Creek and its southern fork, alongside Caney Cr and Coffee Cr. These water systems shaped the early settlement patterns of nearby Beirne and Smithton. The presence of Gurdon Pond One and Gurdon Pond Two near the town center indicates the area's industrial or agricultural water management history. Genealogists can find several local burial sites, such as Rose Hedge Cem and Brown Cem, while aviation history is represented by Gurdon Lowe Field. The map reveals a transition from the structured town layout to the rural road networks like Rome Trl and Dobyville Rd that connect these timber-rich lowlands.
