About this map

The Cleveland Co and Bradley Co boundary line divides a landscape defined by creeks and timberlands in the early 1970s. This survey records the rural transition of south-central Arkansas, where the Old Railroad Grade and Old Camden Road represent the evolving transport network of the Quachita Valley. Scattered settlements like Mc Kinney and Hollis are anchored by numerous country churches, including Moseley Chapel and Greenland Ch, reflecting the deep-seated social geography of these communities.

Watercourses such as L'Aigle Creek and Caney Creek wind through the terrain, punctuated by features like Parnell Springs. For genealogists, the map provides precise locations for several family and community burial grounds, from Reeves Cem near the valley floor to the Wheeler Springs Cem and Bethel Cem further north. The presence of a Gravel Pit near Garrison Cem indicates the small-scale industrial activities supporting local road maintenance during this period.
