1978 Map of Social Hill

About this map

The Ouachita River defines the eastern boundary of this Arkansas landscape, carving a path through the lowland Black Flats and past the expansive Morrison Island. The terrain is characterized by a transition from the alluvial river bottoms to the elevations of Easely Mountain and Jack Mtn, where a Mountain Lookout Tower once monitored the surrounding timber. Settlement patterns follow the higher ground and historical routes like Military Road, with small communities such as Saginaw, Social Hill, and Oak Grove dotting the map. This 1970s record illustrates the localized industry of the era through numerous Gravel Pits and the proximity of the Missouri Pacific railroad. Genealogists will find several family-named burial sites and rural landmarks, including Lone Hill Cem, Ward Cem, and Neighbors Cem.
