About this map

Lonsdale sits at the heart of this landscape where the boundaries of Garland, Saline, and Hot Spring counties converge. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of the Middle Fork Saline River and South Fork Saline River, which cut through the hills alongside smaller drainages like Tenmile Creek. This 1972 survey, later updated in 1984, captures a rural network of community anchors, including the Rural Dale Sch and local congregations at Tenmile Ch and Cedar Grove Ch.

Evidence of historical transportation and industry is preserved through the Old Railroad Grade running west of town and a Quarry to the southeast. Settled pockets at Owensville and Crows illustrate the area's mid-century distribution, while landmarks like the Lookout Tower and Slate Branch Cem provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians tracing the physical evolution of these Arkansas uplands.
