1972 Map of Lonsdale NE

About this map

The Middle Fork Saline River and the Alum Fork Saline River converge in this Arkansas river valley, shaping a landscape defined by sharp ridges and deep creek bottoms. By the early 1970s, this portion of Saline County remained largely rural, anchored by small community centers like Gravel Hill Ch and Unity Landmark Ch. The map provides significant genealogical value through its documentation of secluded family and church burial grounds, including Bolin Cem, Geurin Cem, and Wesleys Chapel Cem. Notable topographical landmarks such as Prittman Ridge dominate the northern terrain, while the South Fork Saline River cuts through the southwestern corner. The presence of the Base Line and various township markers illustrates the foundational land surveying that organized this wooded territory.
