1949 Map of Snowball

About this map

The Buffalo River winds through the northern portion of this landscape, its path defined by significant elevation changes and landmarks like White Bluff and Richardson Hill. Surveyed in the late 1930s and published in the late 1940s, this area of Newton and Searcy counties shows a highly dispersed rural settlement pattern. Small community hubs such as Snowball, Witt Springs, and Marsena are connected by narrow roads that navigate the complex drainage of Richland Creek, Calf Creek, and Bear Creek.
