1970 Map of Hardin

About this map

The border of Grant and Jefferson counties defines this 1970s landscape, where small rural communities are connected by a network of historic thoroughfares like Monticello Road and June Road. The Missouri Pacific RR cuts diagonally through the northeast, serving the settlement of Hardin and passing near the Pine Bluff Arsenal boundary. This era shows a transition in land use, with several areas marked as under construction near Caney Creek and significant revision data from 1975 photogrammetry. Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites and rural congregations, including New Shiloh Ch, Old Shiloh Cem, and Hardin Cem. The hydrological character of the region is dominated by the winding paths of Bartholomew Bayou and Derrieusseaux Creek, which provide drainage for the low-lying timber and agricultural lands surrounding Doylestown and Midway.
