1961 Map of Hamlet

About this map

Cadron Ridge dominates the northern landscape of this Faulkner County region, creating a natural corridor where water from Pickle Gap Creek and Palarm Creek flows toward the Arkansas River basin. The settlement of Hamlet serves as a central point in a network of rural communities, including Saltillo and Beryl, connected by early road alignments and a prominent pipeline corridor. The map reveals a deeply rooted community structure, evidenced by numerous historical religious and burial sites such as Old Liberty Ch, Friendship Ch, and the New Liberty Cem. To the southwest, the significant expanse of Lake Conway is visible, defined by the Conway Boundary. This 1960s survey illustrates a landscape transitioning between traditional agricultural use and modern infrastructure, with Quarries and a Shale Pit indicating local extractive industries near the Fourmile Hill area.
