About this map

Knobel serves as the central hub of this mid-1960s survey, situated where the Missouri Pacific rail line cuts through the northeast Arkansas landscape. The town is flanked by a significant water system, including the meandering Black River to the west and the Cache River to the southeast. The area's agricultural and conservation character is evident through the Black River State Game Area and the extensive network of drainage features like Kramer Ditch.

Genealogists will find several landmarks of interest, including the St Bernard Cem and Bond Cem located near the town site. The map documents a rural society organized around country churches, such as Walnut Grove Ch, Thorn Grove Ch, and Cache Lake Ch. The southern portion of the sheet shows the transition into Crowley Ridge and Breckenridge, while an Old Railroad Grade suggests the evolution of local transportation networks during this era.
