About this map

Pearcy and the surrounding rural communities of Meyers, Maddox, and Oma anchor this mid-1960s survey of the Arkansas countryside. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition from the elevated terrain of Mazarn Mountain and Lee Mountain down into the valley floor. Much of the northern half of the quadrangle is protected within the Ouachita National Forest, where clearings for settlements like Chandler contrast with the dense timber of the federal lands.

Genealogists can find significant local landmarks including Bethlehem Ch and several burial grounds such as McDowell Cem and Cross Roads Cem. The map records industrial and transport history through a lingering Railroad Grade and a Gravel Pit near the eastern border. The area is heavily intersected by waterways, with the confluence of Mazarn Creek, Lost Creek, and Little Mazarn Creek dictating the placement of early homesteads across the Garland and Hot Spring county line.
