1966 Map of Rea Valley

About this map

White River and Crooked Creek define the northern landscape of this Arkansas terrain, where the settlement of Rea Valley serves as a central point between major ridges and hollows. The area is marked by significant topographic relief, including Hall Mountain and Hand Mountain, with a network of drainage systems like Clabber Creek and Water Creek carving deep into the landscape. Genealogical interest is centered on sites like Wares Chapel, Hand Valley Cem, and Williams Cem, which sit alongside family-named features such as John Treat Hollow and Campbell Hollow. Toward the southern edge, a Mine is located near the Buffalo River, indicating the rural industry present during the mid-1960s. The map provides a detailed look at the rural road network and property boundaries in Union and surrounding townships before modern development shifted the local character.
