About this map

Morrillton serves as the central hub of this 1889 survey, situated where the Little Rock & Fort Smith RR parallels the meandering Arkansas River. The landscape transitions from the broad river bottomlands to the prominent elevations of Petit Jean Mt, where the dramatic Cedar Falls is noted. This era represents a peak for river-and-rail commerce, with numerous crossings and landings such as Morgan's Fy, Galla Rock Fy, and Stouts Ldg facilitating local trade.

Further inland, small agricultural communities and post offices like Solgohachia, Caglesville, and Springfield are connected by early roads. The mapping of township boundaries—including Lick Mountain and Point Remove—provides a detailed framework for genealogists tracing late 19th-century land holdings. To the north and south, the terrain becomes increasingly complex with features like White Oak Mountain and the Fourche La Fave river valley.
