1979 Map of Lodi

About this map

Kirby sits at the southern edge of this West Central Arkansas landscape, serving as a gateway to the complex hydrology and topography between the Cossatot Mountains and the waters of Lake Greeson. The map documents a rural network of small settlements like Lodi and Hopper, connected by the Forrester Road. Genealogists will find several burial grounds mapped here, including Palestine Cemetery and Hopper Cemetery, alongside local spiritual centers such as the Free Will Baptist Church. The terrain is defined by dramatic peaks like Tweedle Mountain and Reynolds Mountain, which shelter the headwaters of the Antoine River and Little Bear Creek. This 1970s survey captures the area before modern development, showing a land still deeply tied to its mountain ridges and river forks.
