About this map

Jersey serves as the central hub of this South Arkansas landscape, situated where Ar-160 meets the county line. The geography is defined by the winding course of Moro Cr, which forms the natural boundary between Calhoun and Bradley counties. This riparian corridor is marked by historic crossing points like Mill Ford and Balley Ford, suggesting a legacy of local travel and commerce before modern infrastructure dominated the region.

Genealogical interest is high throughout the area, with numerous family and community burial grounds scattered across the terrain, including Shady Grove Cem, Mt Zion Cem, and Ricks Cem. The land transitions from the bottomlands of Pin Oak Flat to the higher ground surrounding Mud Springs, drained by an intricate network of timber-lined creeks such as Charivari Cr and LaBaum Cr. The map preserves a network of named county roads that trace the early settlement patterns of these rural townships.
