About this map

Bayou Bartholomew snakes through the landscape, defining the boundary between Jefferson and Lincoln counties during this 1960s survey. The map reveals a rural Arkansas community centered around crossroads and small gathering places like Hooker and Griffith Springs. Notable for genealogists, the terrain is dotted with local landmarks such as Shell Chapel and Wheeler Chapel, alongside family-named burial grounds including Jefferson Cem and Grahams Cem.

The presence of the Bradshaw Brake and Shady Oaks Reservoir highlights the watery character of the lowlands, where agricultural patterns are shaped by drainage features like Greens Creek and Walker Branch. In the southern reaches, rural life is anchored by the Macedonia Ch and New Owen Cem, while early industrial activity is marked by Gravel Pits near the Hudgin township line, providing a record of the mid-century rural economy before later development.
