About this map

Lincoln serves as the central hub of this Northwest Arkansas landscape, where the plateau terrain of Star Hill and Rheas Mill meets the drainage of Moores Creek. The map documents a rural transition in the early 1970s, evidenced by the presence of a Substa, Sewage Disposal facility, and the Waterworks near town. To the south, the settlement of Canehill remains a focal point for genealogical research, surrounded by several family-named burial grounds including the McClellan Cem and Kidd Cem.

Tracing the western edge of the quadrangle, the Old Railroad Grade follows the contours near Suttle, marking the path of former commerce. The topography is defined by significant ridges like Sugartree Mountain and the deep incisions of the Little Baron Fork near Dutch Mills. Scattered country churches like Bethesda Ch and numerous small cemeteries such as Drake Cem and Sugar Hill Cem provide a detailed map of the area's early pioneer and family heritage.
