About this map

The New London settlement in Union County serves as the focal point for this 2011 survey, a landscape defined by its timber and petroleum industries. The presence of the New London Lookout Tower and the small community of Sawmill underscore the importance of the regional forestry sector, while the North New London Oil and Gas Field, Winchester Oil Field, and New London Oil Field reveal the significant energy footprint across these woodlands.

Genealogists will find an unusually high density of family and community burial sites, including the Wallace Cemetery, George Cemetery, Gill Cemetery, and Poole Cemetery. These landmarks, alongside the McGlendon Mill, provide a detailed look at the rural social structure of South Arkansas. The terrain is crisscrossed by numerous waterways such as Williams Creek, Lapolle Creek, and Cannon Creek, which historically dictated the placement of many of these early family homesteads and church-centered communities.
