About this map

The community of Rose Bud serves as the focal point of this 1963 survey, situated at the junction of Ark 25 and Ark 31. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Cadron Creek and its many tributaries, such as East Fork Cadron Creek and Clear Creek, which carve through the prominent uplands of Bluff Mountain and Starkey Mountain. This era shows a well-established network of rural institutions, including Plants Chapel and Mt Bethel Ch, alongside family-named landmarks like Wortham Hill and Hart Hill.

Notable for local history researchers are the numerous small burial grounds and civic sites, from Rose Bud Cem to the namesake Schoolhouse Hill. The presence of several Quarry sites near the creek beds reflects the local extraction activities that shaped the economy. The map also records the exact county lines where Cleburne and Faulkner meet White County, providing a clear view of the mid-century jurisdictional boundaries.
