1970 Map of Hardin

About this map

Hardin and the surrounding townships of Jefferson, Washington, and Darysaw represent a crossroads of rural settlement and industrial presence in the early 1970s. The landscape is defined by its water system, where Bartholomew Bayou and Caney Bayou drain the eastern plains while the complex creek network of Derrieusseaux Creek and East Fork carves through the western hills. The northeastern corner is notably dominated by the Pine Bluff Arsenal and the Missouri Pacific RR, illustrating the intersection of military logistics and rail infrastructure that influenced local development.
