1963 Map of Leslie

About this map

Leslie serves as the primary hub of this Arkansas Ozark landscape, situated where Begley Hollow meets the larger valley of Wileys Cove. The settlement pattern follows the intricate drainage systems of the Middle Fork Little Red River and the Little Red River, with small communities like Noah and Rumley appearing along the waterways and an Old Railroad Grade that snakes through the valley floor. Genealogists will find a high density of family-named landmarks and burial grounds, including Horn Cem, Baldwin Hill Cem, and the Sulphur Springs Cem near Trace Creek. The topography is defined by prominent elevations such as Blue Mountain and Brushy Mountain, while industrial history is marked by a Quarry and a Mine located south of Leslie. This 1963 field-checked survey provides a meticulous record of rural infrastructure, from the Water Tank in town to the Dennard Church at the southern boundary.
