About this map

Mt Holly serves as the central hub of this South Arkansas landscape, situated at a major crossroads during a period of significant petroleum production in the early 1960s. The region is defined by a dense network of energy resources, including the Salem Church Oil and Gas Field and the West Mount Holly Oil and Gas Field. These industrial zones are interspersed with a traditional rural fabric of small community centers and family landmarks like Wickham.

Cultural life is anchored by numerous country churches and burial grounds, such as Union Ch, Silver Hill Ch, and the New Hope Cem. The topography is shaped by a complex drainage system where Smackover Creek and Holly Creek wind through the timberlands. Crossing the Columbia Co Union Co line, the map documents the proximity of industry to daily life, with the Pace City Oil and Gas Field sitting adjacent to the Watson Cem and Silver Hill Ch.
