About this map

Bayou Bartholomew meanders along the eastern edge of this 1960 survey, defining the fertile lowlands where the Drew Co Ashley Co line meets the river. This landscape is a complex network of waterways, characterized by the winding path of Cutoff Creek and smaller tributaries like Stephens Creek and Bailey Creek. The topography reveals a rural southern Arkansas community centered on local spiritual and family hubs, including Mt Calvary Ch, Bethlehem Ch, and Troy Ch.

Genealogists can trace early local residents through numerous burial sites such as Roper Cem, New Troy Cem, and Townsend Cem. The area also features Wolf Creek Camp along the banks of Wolf Creek, reflecting the importance of the creeks to local recreation and settlement patterns. Extensive field and fence lines are meticulously documented, offering a detailed look at mid-century land use and property boundaries in the Collins and Bartholomew districts.
