1970 Map of Herbine

About this map

The Saline River meanders through Cleveland County, anchoring a landscape defined by timbered bottomlands and rural crossroads. The small settlements of Herbine and Pansy serve as local focal points, surrounded by a network of creeks including Big Creek, Blakey Creek, and Double Mile Creek. Community life is anchored by landmarks like Free Hill Ch and the Prosperity Cem, while the regional topography is punctuated by Vince Bluff and an active Lookout Tower. This 1970s survey, updated with 1980s aerial data, documents a period of resource extraction as evidenced by numerous Gravel Pits scattered near the river, and the inclusion of a Roadside Park near Herbine reflecting the growth of local infrastructure during the late twentieth century.
