1950 Map of Newburg

About this map

Little Piney Creek winds through the heart of the Mark Twain National Forest, tracing a path between the settlements of Newburg and Arlington. This 1950 survey, with mid-1980s updates, illustrates the geographic relationship between the historic river-town sites and the arrival of modern infrastructure, most notably the path of Interstate 44 cutting across Pea Ridge. The Burlington Northern railroad follows the low ground along the creek, supporting the town of Newburg, where a water tank and localized cemeteries like Newburg Cem and Kitchell Cem mark the community's footprint.
