1962 Map of Kedron

About this map

The Southwestern St Louis railroad corridor dictates the settlement patterns of this rural Arkansas landscape, passing through Kedron and northward toward Rone. Located at the tri-county juncture of Grant, Jefferson, and Cleveland counties, the area is defined by a dense network of waterways including Big Creek, Hudson Creek, and Allgood Creek. These streams cut through timberland and small clearings where local history is anchored by sites like Mt Carmel Ch and several family-named burial grounds. Genealogists will find interest in the proximity of Piney Grove Cem, Macedonia Cem, and Randolph Cem. The terrain also features notable landmarks such as Dunkeffie Lake and various gravel pits, reflecting a landscape tied to both natural drainage and local transit infrastructure during the early 1960s.
