About this map

The North Fork Saline River snakes through the center of this Saline County landscape, providing a primary drainage for the complex network of creeks and branches that define the area's geography. In the northeast, Lake Norrell stands out as a significant water body, complete with its spillway at an elevation of 412 feet. The map documents a rural community structure established around country churches and burial grounds, including Old Union Ch and the nearby Old Union Cem.

Further south, family and community landmarks such as Langley Cem and Grape Chapel appear along Moccasin Creek. The presence of a Landing Strip near the river bend suggests localized aviation activity amidst the timbered hills. The terrain is deeply dissected by numerous named waterways like Williams Creek and Shockley Branch, illustrating the typical upland drainage patterns of the Arkansas interior during the mid-1970s.
