About this map

Cadron Creek meanders through the northern reaches of this Faulkner County landscape, carving a deep path between Barnett Mountain and Walker Mountain. This 1961 field-checked survey illustrates a rural Arkansas environment defined by its watercourses and small upland settlements like Guy and Centerville. The terrain transitions from the ridges of Cadron Mountain in the north to the Hardin Valley and Soda Mountain in the south.

Genealogists will find a high density of small family and community burial grounds, including the Mode Cem, Old Texas Cem, and Copperas Springs Cem. The presence of several country churches such as New Home Ch and Black Fork Ch suggests a tightly-knit rural social structure. Near the southern border, the map identifies local industry through several Shale Pits, while Bennett Lake and Centerville Park provide evidence of mid-century community spaces.
