1961 Map of Hamlet

About this map

Cadron Ridge dominates the northern landscape of this Faulkner County region, creating a natural corridor where Palarm Creek and its tributaries carve through the terrain. During the early 1960s, the rural character of this area was defined by small clusters of community life centered around places like Hamlet, Saltillo, and Beryl. The settlement pattern follows the drainage of Pickle Gap Creek and Little Palarm Creek, with numerous country churches such as Old Liberty Ch and Oak Bowery Ch serving as local landmarks.
