2020 Map of Gurdon

About this map

The timber and rail hub of Gurdon anchors this Clark County landscape, where the street grid of the town center meets the industrial activity at Gurdon Lowe Field. This 2020 survey reveals the geographic layout of a region defined by its waterway network, including the prominent Terre Noire Creek and its southern fork, alongside several smaller tributaries like Lick Creek and McNeeley Creek. The map provides specific locational data for researchers tracing local heritage, from the small outlying settlements of Beirne and Smithton to several established burial grounds such as Greenville Cemetery, Brown Cemetery, and Rose Hedge Cemetery. The combination of modern residential infrastructure and expansive wetlands like Gurdon Pond One illustrates the persistent relationship between the local economy and the lowland geography of southwestern Arkansas.
