About this map

Old Davidsonville State Park sits at the heart of this landscape where the Eleven Point River joins the Spring River, marking a site of early Arkansas settlement history. The terrain is defined by complex river hydrology, featuring oxbows and named reaches like Deadman Bend and Scotts Bend, alongside several floodplain lakes including Wilson Lake and Bull Pizzle Lake. These waterways were critical to the development of early outposts like Noland and Birdell.

Evidence of the mid-1970s rural economy is visible through the presence of a Fish Hatchery, various Gravel Pits, and the St Louis San Francisco railroad corridor cutting across the southern portion of the map. For genealogists, the sheet is particularly dense with family-named burial sites such as Huffstedler Cem, Chesser Cem, and Reeves Cem, documenting the long-standing communities near the boundary of Randolph and Lawrence Counties.
