About this map

Mt Holly serves as the central hub of this area on the border of Union and Columbia counties in the early 1960s. The landscape is defined by the industrial presence of the Mount Holly Oil and Gas Field and Bear Creek Oil and Gas Field, with numerous wells and access roads scattered throughout the townships of Boone, Van Buren, and Cornie. These energy resources sit alongside long-established community landmarks such as Union Ch and St Luke Ch.

A network of watercourses, including Smackover Creek and Holly Creek, carves through the timbered terrain, providing natural boundaries and drainage. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of family-named sites like Watson Cem, Smeed Cem, and New Hope Cem, which dot the rural countryside. The map also traces the winding course of the Columbia Co Union Co line as it follows the creek beds and ridges of southern Arkansas.
