About this map

The Saline River winds through the heart of this Cleveland County landscape, carving a path past Vince Bluff and defining the local topography between the Redland and Lee townships. In the early 1970s, the rural community of Herbine served as a central point for local families, supported by the Prosperity Cem and the Roadside Park. To the northeast, the settlement of Pansy sits near a prominent Lookout Tower, while the northwest corner is anchored by the Macedonia Ch and Macedonia Cem.

The area's economy and infrastructure are reflected in the numerous Gravel Pits scattered across the Harper and Rowell districts. Smaller waterways like Big Creek, Blakey Creek, and Sixteenth Creek feed into the river system, illustrating the drainage patterns that shaped local land use and boundary lines. This survey captures a moment when traditional community landmarks—churches, cemeteries, and river bluffs—remained the primary focal points of the rural Arkansas interior.
