1951 Map of Sheppard

About this map

Guernsey and Sheppard serve as central hubs in this rural Arkansas landscape, situated along the tracks of the Missouri Pacific railroad. The map reveals a community structured around small churches and educational sites, such as Guernsey High Sch and Mt Sinai Ch. Numerous family-named landmarks like Wayne Chapel and Westmoreland Cem dot the terrain, offering significant value for genealogical research in Hempstead County. To the northeast, the Hope Municipal Airport and its Airway Beacon signify the region's mid-century aviation infrastructure. The hydrology is dominated by the wandering paths of Bois d'Arc Creek and Water Creek, which cut through the townships of Ozan and De Roan.
