About this map

New Blaine and the surrounding Logan County countryside are defined by the wide expanse of Lake Dardanelle and the winding course of the Arkansas River. This modern survey illustrates a landscape where the river’s influence is paramount, creating landforms like Shoal Creek Narrows and Shoal Creek Island. Historically significant sites for genealogists are scattered throughout the region, including Saint Scholastica Cem near the town of Dublin and several smaller family burial grounds like Frietsche Cem and Tritt Cem.

The southern portion of the map climbs into the rugged boundaries of the Ozark National Forest, where named peaks such as Pine Ridge Mtn and Huckleberry Mtn-Orange rise above drainage basins like Sorghum Hollow. This transition from the flat river bottoms of Cedar Bottom to the high ridges demonstrates the varied topography of the Arkansas River Valley, connecting rural settlements like Johnson and Liberty through a network of backroads and local routes.
