About this map

Junction City straddles the state line in this early 1980s look at the borderlands between Arkansas and Louisiana. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Little Cornie Bayou and its numerous tributaries, including Beech Creek and Turkey Creek. The map documents a rural community connected by small settlements like Caledonia and Upland, with evidence of the regional energy economy found in the South El Dorado Oil Field and scattered Oil Well and Drill Hole markings.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the numerous burial grounds and spiritual centers that dot the countryside, such as Graceland Cem, Cobb Cem, and St Mark Ch. Social and recreational life in the era is represented by Camp De Soto and Mt Union Park. The survey also captures the essential infrastructure of the time, from the Sewage Disposal Pond facilities to the Rest Area and various pipelines that crisscross the terrain.
