About this map

Princeton and the nearby settlement of Jacinto anchor this Arkansas landscape during the early 1970s. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of slow-moving waterways and low-lying areas, including Hickory Flats and Alsobrook Slough. The rural character of Dallas County is evident in the distribution of family-named landmarks and local institutions, such as Henderson Cemetery and Mt Zion Church.

Industry in the area is represented by scattered Gravel Pits, while recreational life is centered at the Ben Few Campground. The map details the hydrology of the region, from the West Fork of Hall Creek to the broader path of Tulip Creek and White Oak Creek. This topographic record provides a clear view of the social geography of the era, showing the placement of rural churches like Macedonia Church and Mt Olivet Church alongside long-established cemeteries like Taylor Cemetery.
