1958 Map of Haynes

About this map

Crowley's Ridge rises prominently in the northeast, creating a sharp topographical contrast with the lowland drainage basin of the L'Anguille River. This 1950s survey, updated with late-century developments, shows a landscape defined by small rural settlements and a dense network of country houses of worship. The southern edge of Forrest City expands toward the ridge, while the smaller community of Haynes anchors the southern portion of the map near the St. Francis and Lee County line. Local family and community history is well-preserved through numerous landmarks like Harmony Chapel, Jerusalem Ch, and Hodge Cem. The transition from the alluvial plains of Coffee Creek to the elevated ground of the ridge highlights the traditional settlement patterns where homes and schools like Evans Sch were established away from the frequently saturated river bottoms.
