About this map

New Edinburg serves as the focal point of this Cleveland County landscape, where the meandering Saline River defines the northeastern boundary. The terrain is a network of small watercourses, including Cottonmouth Creek and Frazier Creek, which cut through a region dominated by timber and small rural clearings. This 1970 snapshot of the area reflects a deeply rooted community structure, evidenced by the numerous small rural churches and family-named landmarks scattered across the townships of Kings Land and Redland.

Family researchers will find significant value in the distribution of religious and burial sites such as Hebron Ch, St Francis Ch, and the Marks Cem. The presence of Bradley Bluff and Mt Elba near the river suggests the importance of elevated ground in an area otherwise defined by the bottomlands of Mill Creek and Hall Creek. The map meticulously records the fine-line field boundaries and fence lines of the era, providing a precise look at mid-century Arkansas land use.
