About this map

Bearhouse Cr and Holley Cr wind through the timberlands and wetlands of the Arkansas Gulf Coastal Plain, marking the landscape of this 2017 survey. Situated along the boundary of Drew and Ashley counties, the area is characterized by a dense network of forest management roads and historical transport routes, including Gates Mainline Rd and Old Tram Rd. These labels suggest a legacy of timber harvesting and local transit that shaped the development of these rural townships.

Genealogists and local historians will find several well-placed family and community landmarks, such as Jordan Cem, Cotham Cem, and Judkins Cem. The map provides a detailed view of the drainage patterns for numerous small waterways, including Wolf Cr and Gillam Cr, which define the low-lying terrain. The transition between Township 14 South, Range 6 West and neighboring ranges highlights the systematic land division that has organized this portion of southeast Arkansas since the nineteenth century.
