About this map

Mena serves as the primary hub of this Arkansas landscape, where the Kansas City Southern railroad cuts through the terrain. The town shows its mid-century development with established institutions like St Joseph Sch, a local Theater, and the Radio Tower (KENA). Beyond the town limits, the geography is defined by the Ouachita National Forest and the peaks of Dallas Mountain and High Peak.

Smaller surrounding settlements like Nunley, Dallas, and Ink reflect the rural character of Polk County. Genealogists can trace family names through numerous local burial sites, including Pinecrest Cemetery, Owens Cem, and Dallas Cem. The survey also highlights important local infrastructure of the era, such as the Mena Municipal Landing Field and community anchors like Corinth Ch and Holly Springs Ch.
