About this map

The town of Horatio serves as the central hub of this mid-century survey, situated at the intersection of the Kansas City Southern railroad and several regional routes. The landscape transitions from the higher ground of Bear Creek in the north to the meandering path of the Little River, which defines the border between Sevier and Little River counties. Local life in this era is etched into the landscape through numerous country churches and cemeteries, such as Boggy Springs Ch, Bradley Chapel, and the Clear Creek Cem.

Insights into early 20th-century transportation are visible in the Old Railroad Grade north of town, while a significant Pipeline corridor cuts diagonally across the terrain, reflecting the post-war industrial footprint. Smaller settlements like Neal Springs and Central are also detailed, alongside landmarks like the Beacon Hill Sch, providing a precise record of rural Arkansas communities before later modern developments.
