About this map

Bartholomew Bayou and Caney Bayou meander through the eastern reach of this Jefferson County landscape, where the Pine Bluff Arsenal occupies a significant tract of land. The settlement of Hardin serves as a local hub, connected by the Missouri Pacific RR which cuts diagonally across the terrain near Samples. The map captures a transition from the structured military grounds in the east to the more dispersed rural communities of Doylestown and Midway toward the west.

Local heritage is well-documented through numerous religious and burial sites, including Old Shiloh Cem near Gum Springs Creek and the New Shiloh Ch. The intricate drainage system of Derrieusseaux Creek and Clear Lake illustrates the low-lying nature of this region. Notable landmarks such as the Lookout Tower near Sanders Hill and the Water Tank in Hardin provide vertical reference points across the relatively level topography.
