1962 Map of Pine Bluff NW

About this map

Bayou Bartholomew meanders through the eastern edge of this landscape, marking the boundary between the cultivated lowlands and the timbered uplands of Washington and Spring townships. Recorded in 1962, the map documents a rural community defined by a high density of small-scale country churches and family cemeteries, suggesting a legacy of close-knit settlement. From Barnes Chapel in the north to Double Wells Ch in the southwest, these landmarks anchor the landscape alongside a network of creeks like Pumpkinvine Creek and Johnson Creek. This edition includes 1971 revisions, most notably detailing a series of fence and field lines that trace the mid-century agricultural footprint across the Grant and Jefferson County line. The presence of Camp Ta-Lo-Hi and a Lookout Tower indicates the area's transition toward recreational and forestry management during this period.
