About this map

The Missouri Pacific and St Louis Southwestern railroads define the transportation corridors of Miller County in this mid-century portrait of southwest Arkansas. The settlement of Mandeville serves as a northern anchor, where the rail lines and modern highway improvements intersect near the headwaters of McKinney Bayou. To the south, the terrain transitions into a more heavily wooded and creek-dissected landscape around Genoa and Mt Pleasant.

Social and recreational life is evidenced by the distribution of country churches and specialized sites like the YWCA Camp and Camp Hunt near Tennessee Branch. Local history and genealogy are well-preserved through numerous named burial grounds, including Rondo Cem, Polk Cem, and the Mt Oba Cem in the Cleveland township. Distinctive local water features like Coca Cola Lake and the meandering Finn Bayou further characterize this region's complex drainage pattern.
