About this map

Mc Nab serves as a central hub for this rural Hempstead County landscape during the early 1950s, situated where the St Louis San Francisco railroad cuts through the terrain. The community structure is defined by its numerous hilltop congregations, including Yellow Creek Ch, Gravel Hill Ch, and Church Hill Ch, suggesting a settlement pattern rooted in small, local parishes. Educational and social life is anchored by the Douglas Sch and the Hempstead County Hunting Club, the latter located near the marshy expanse of Grassy Lake.

The landscape is deeply influenced by the waterways of Yellow Creek and Bois d'Arc Creek, which flow toward the Little River at the southwestern corner. Technical infrastructure of the era is evident through a prominent Telephone Line and Pipe Line traversing the Bois d'Arc bottomlands. The presence of the Whitehouse Cem and scattered landmarks like a Lookout Tower provide specific points of interest for genealogists tracing family locations in this corner of Arkansas.
