About this map

Morrilton and Plumerville anchor this river-valley landscape during the early 1960s, defined by the Arkansas River and the transit corridor of the Missouri Pacific railroad. The map preserves a distinct record of the region’s social and religious infrastructure, including the Sacred Heart Cem, Gorman Chapel, and Union Hill Ch. Along the southern bank, the Bentley district sits near the river's edge, while the northern hills are home to the Hickory Hill settlement and its namesake Hickory Hill Sch.

A notable historical landmark is the Old Indian Boundary line which cuts across the central townships of Washington, Welborn, and Howard. This survey captures the local economy through features like the Fish Hatchery and the County Fairground, alongside topographic landmarks like Burrow Mtn and Ragsdale Mountain. Genealogists will find a dense network of family-named burial sites, such as Scroggin Cem, McCullough Cem, and the Mt Zion Ch Cem.
