About this map

Glenville and College Hill anchor this rural landscape along the Nevada and Columbia County line in southern Arkansas. This 1969 field-checked survey reveals an economy deeply tied to natural resources, defined by the Stephens Oil and Gas Field and its northern extensions. The St Louis Southwestern railroad cuts through the southeastern corner, serving as a vital transport link for the region's industry. Small community landmarks like Davidson Ch and the Glenville Lookout Tower provide points of reference across the timbered terrain.

Drainage patterns are dominated by Smackover Creek and its many tributaries, including Crooked Creek and Mill Creek. The map is particularly useful for genealogists, detailing numerous family and community burial sites such as Watts Cem, Tick Hill Cem, and Milner Cem. The transition from agrarian roots to industrial oil production is evident in the numerous pipelines and wells scattered among established homesteads and churches.
