About this map

Pine Bluff serves as the focal point for this 2020 Arkansas landscape, dominated by a dense urban grid that transitions into the winding drainage systems of Bayou Bartholomew. The map reveals a concentration of civic and educational institutions, including the University Of Arkansas At Pine Bluff and the Jefferson County Courthouse near the downtown core. Settlement patterns extend to surrounding communities like White Hall and Watson Chapel, illustrating the post-war suburban growth of the region.

Genealogists will find this sheet particularly valuable for its density of burial grounds, mapping historical sites such as Graceland Cem, Saint Josephs Cem, and Mount Olive Cem. The hydrology is defined by the sharp contrast between engineered features like Lake Pine Bluff and the naturally meandering Nevins Cr and Boggy Bayou, which dictate the placement of roads like Princeton Pike. This survey documents the contemporary interface between the city's academic hubs, like Southeast Arkansas College, and the surrounding timber and agricultural lands of Jefferson County.
