About this map

Dardanelle Reservoir dominates the northeastern landscape of this Logan County survey, with blue hatching indicating the specific areas slated for submergence as the river basin was transformed. The transition from the valley floor to the high ridges of Prairie View Mountain and River Mountain is marked by a network of rural communities, including Dublin, Anhalt, and the map's namesake, New Blaine. These settlements are anchored by institutions like St Scholastica Ch, New Blaine Sch, and several family cemeteries such as Hall Cem and Freiserie Cem, providing a detailed view of the area's social geography before the water levels changed.

Transportation patterns are visible through an Old Railroad Grade and a network of jeep trails winding through the Ozark National Forest and toward Buzzards Rock. Industry is represented by scattered resource extraction sites, including a Shale Pit and various quarries near Shoal Creek. Natural landmarks like Shoal Creek Narrows and Tater Hill further define the varied terrain of this mid-century Arkansas river valley.
