2014 Map of New London

About this map

New London and the surrounding pine-clad landscape of Union County are defined by a complex web of petroleum production and historic timbering. This area, marked by numerous production zones including the North New London Oil and Gas Field and the Sandy Bend Oil Field, shows a landscape where industrial infrastructure and rural heritage coexist. Scattered family and community burial grounds, such as Ebenezer Cem and Ward Chapel Cem, are tucked away near the winding tributaries of Lapoile Cr and Norris Cr. The presence of McGlendon Mill and the settlement of Sawmill underscore the historical importance of the timber industry in this corner of Arkansas. Further north, landmarks like the New London Lookout Tower and named features such as Pine Island and Benjamin Lake break up the undulating terrain, while a dense network of local roads like Pigeon Hill Rd and Camp Rd provides access to remote oil wells and family plots.
