About this map

Pine Bluff serves as the focal point of this 2017 survey, showcasing a dense urban grid that borders the winding course of Bayou Bartholomew. The map details the educational and civic infrastructure of the region, including the Univ of Arkansas at Pine Bluff and Southeast Arkansas Coll. To the northwest, the expansion of White Hall is evident, while smaller communities like Watson Chapel and Sulphur Springs anchor the southern and western portions of the quadrangle.

Genealogists will find a significant number of burial grounds documented throughout the landscape, ranging from the large Graceland Cem near the city center to more rural locations such as Spring Hill Cem and Good Faith Cem. The natural geography is defined by a complex network of waterways and drainage systems, including Harding Drain and Boggy Bayou, which reflect the low-lying terrain typical of this part of Jefferson County. Various family-named landmarks like Neely Lake and Oakley Lake Number Two suggest long-standing local landholdings.
