1966 Map of Pearcy

About this map

Mazarn Valley and the northern slopes of Pearcy Mountain define the topography of this mid-1960s survey, updated with 1970s aerial data. The map documents a landscape of scattered rural communities and timberland, centered around the village of Pearcy and the crossing of Mazarn Creek. To the north, the Ouachita National Forest boundary borders the settlement at Maddox, while the southern reaches cross into Hot Spring County near Oma. Evidence of former transportation and industry appears along the Old Railroad Grade and a Gravel Pit near Chandler. Local genealogists will find several family-named landmarks and historical community centers, including McDowell Cem, Cross Roads Cem, and Meyers Creek Ch, which served as both a spiritual and educational hub for the western Meyers area.
