About this map

Relfs Bluff and the nearby crossroads of Little Garnett anchor this rural landscape along the boundary of Lincoln and Drew Counties. The 1970s terrain is defined by a dense network of small waterways, including Chance Creek and Twomile Creek, which dictate the placement of farms and gravel operations. The abundance of Gravel Pits scattered across the quadrangle points to the local extractive industry of the era.

Local history and genealogy are well-represented by a cluster of country churches that served these remote communities, such as Mountain Home Ch, Holly Springs Ch, and Ebenezer Ch. The presence of small family or community burial grounds like Maxwell Cem and Spring Hill Cem provides specific points of interest for researchers tracing roots in this corner of Arkansas. A notable Pipeline corridor cuts diagonally through the southern half of the map, illustrating the modern industrial infrastructure overlaying the traditional agricultural landscape.
