About this map

The Missouri Pacific railroad corridor anchors this survey of central Arkansas, cutting a diagonal path through Redfield and the surrounding timberlands. To the north, the Arkansas River meanders past Harris Bluff, while the southern reaches of the map show the edge of the Pine Bluff Arsenal. The landscape is a network of small creeks and bayous, including Shingle Mill Bayou and Counterfeit Creek, which drain the varied terrain of the Mountains ridge.

Genealogists will find several notable burial sites and rural congregations, from the Rest in Peace Memorial Gardens near the Saline County line to Happy Home Cem in the south. The map preserves the names of small communities and homesteads like English Place and Hensley, alongside historical transportation routes such as the Stagecoach Road and Kearney Road, illustrating the settlement patterns between Little Rock and Pine Bluff during the early 1970s.
