About this map

The settlement of Scotland serves as a focal point in this 1965 survey of the Arkansas interior, situated near the headwaters of the Scotland Branch. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Little Red River, particularly its West Fork and South Fork, which carve through the high terrain of Long Mountain and Culpepper Mountain. These valleys were once home to small, dispersed communities like Walnut Grove and Culpepper, which were connected by winding rural routes such as Ark. 27.

Genealogists will find significant detail in the numerous family-named landmarks and burial grounds scattered across the quadrangle. From the Crowell Cem near Crowell Ch to the Evans Cem and Bradley Cem, the map documents the historical footprint of local families. The presence of several Gravel Pits and a Quarry near the river fork suggests the local extraction industry that supported the region's development during the mid-20th century.
