2024 Map of Marsden

About this map

L'Aigle Creek and its many tributaries, including Mill Branch, define the bottomland landscape of this Bradley County region. The community of Marsden serves as a central point in an area characterized by a series of distinct geographic rises, such as Sand Ridge, Hayes Ridge, and Hurricane Ridge. To the south, the map reveals the transition into the Felsenthal National Wildlife Refuge, where the terrain drops toward the Ouachita River and is marked by wetlands like White Oak Lake and Gar Lake. Genealogists will find several family and community burial sites scattered across the landscape, including the Marsden Cem, Weary Rest Cem, and the Anderson - York Cem. The map illustrates a complex network of local roads and creek crossings, such as Tulip Creek and Charivari Creek, that historically connected the rural homesteads of southern Arkansas.
