1951 Map of McNab

About this map

Mc Nab stands at the heart of this southwest Arkansas landscape, situated along the St Louis San Francisco railroad line. The mid-century topography reveals a strong community structure defined by its rural institutions, with a notable concentration of country churches including Gravel Hill Ch, Church Hill Ch, and Zion Hill Ch anchoring the local neighborhoods. The terrain is characterized by the lowlands of the Little River and the extensive waters of Grassy Lake, which hosts the Hempstead County Hunting Club near its western shore. Beyond the settlements of Camp Spring and Gibson, the map documents essential infrastructure of the era, such as a prominent Pipe Line and Telephone Line cutting through the Bois D'Arc and Saline townships, providing a clear view of the regional connectivity before later modern developments.
