1973 Map of Parma

About this map

Greers Ferry Lake dominates the southern reaches of this survey, where the Little Red River flows through the borderlands of Stone and Cleburne counties. The map reflects a landscape defined by sharp ridges and deep hollows, such as Backbone Ridge and Huide Hollow. Small communities and family-named points like Parma, Nelson, and Brewer dot the upland terrain, while the underwater contours of the lake reveal the former valley floor as it was surveyed by the USCE in 1939. This 1970s record captures the region’s topography and settlement patterns just before modern development altered the rural character of the hills near Poff Mountain. For genealogists, the inclusion of Smart Cem and Davis Cem alongside churches like Sunny Slope Ch provides essential markers of local family history.
