About this map

The Little Red River defines the landscape of central White County in this mid-1960s survey, winding southward past a network of rural settlements and growing municipal centers. The city of Searcy occupies the southwest corner, showing the city's street grid and the Oakgrove Cem near its outskirts. To the east, the Missouri Pacific railroad corridor anchors the communities of Judsonia and Kensett, illustrating the transport-dependent economy of the era.

Rural life is marked by numerous country churches and small family burying grounds, such as Holly Springs Ch and Bethlehem Cem. Significant landmarks of local utility and community service are present, including the Central High Sch, the Oakdale Nursing Home, and the Waterworks near Kiwani Park. The terrain shifts from the elevations of Pine Hill down to the lowlands surrounding Doniphan Lake, providing a clear view of the region's transition from upland farming to river-bottom land.
