About this map

Steprock and the surrounding White County landscape are defined by the winding course of the Little Red River as it moves through the hills of north-central Arkansas. The area is characterized by a network of creeks, including Fourteenmile Cr, Tenmile Cr, and Cypress Cr, which have shaped the local topography into distinct features like White Oak Hollow and Wildcat Hill. The settlement pattern follows these watercourses and ridgelines, with the small community of Sunnydale situated between the elevations of Round Mtn and Tater Hill.

Genealogists and local historians will find several established burial grounds across this landscape, including the Philadelphia Cem near Little Red and the Holly Grove Cem to the southeast. The map also documents physical infrastructure vital to the rural economy of the period, such as Fisher Bridge crossing March Br. From the fertile soil of Wells Bottom to the high ground of Flat Top Mtn, the map preserves the precise distribution of residences and local roads that connected these farming and timber communities.
