About this map

Perryville serves as the focal point of this Arkansas landscape, situated where the terrain transitions from the valley of the Fourche La Fave River into the significant elevations of Perry Mountain. The 1960s survey, updated in the early 1980s, captures a rural economy defined by river commerce and timberland, evidenced by the Little Rock and Western railroad corridor and the presence of a Lookout Tower near Fourche Pinnacle.

Community life is mapped through numerous family and church burial grounds, including the Wolfe Cem, McGhee Cem, and Stover Cem. Education and faith intersect at local landmarks like the St Elizabeth Sch and Oppelo Ch. To the north, the Arkansas River features Lock and Dam No 9 near Riverview, while recreational and conservation areas are anchored by Petit Jean State Park and the Harris Brake State Wildlife Management Area.
