About this map

Junction City straddles the Arkansas-Louisiana border, serving as the primary hub for a landscape defined by the branching tributaries of the Little Cornie Bayou. This recent survey illustrates the rural settlement patterns of Union County, Arkansas, and Claiborne Parish, Louisiana, where small communities like Caledonia and New Caledonia are centered around family-named landmarks and historical burial grounds. The terrain is marked by timber and resource activity, with roads like Oil Field Rd and S Field Cutoff suggesting the region's industrial ties.

Local history is preserved in the numerous cemeteries scattered across the quadrangle, including the Meek Family Cem, Wooley Cem, and Ebenezer Cem. Further north, Foster Hill rises above the lowlands of Bridge Cr and Walker Br, while Blanchard Springs provides a focal point near the state line. The map captures the enduring character of these borderland settlements, from the residential streets of Junction City to the isolated homesteads near Saint Marks Cem.
