1965 Map of Steprock

About this map

The Little Red River meanders through the heart of this mid-1960s landscape, creating a distinct geographical divide between the northern uplands and the river bottoms. In the central flats near Steprock, the terrain is marked by fertile Wells Bottom and several small community centers like Sunnydale and Denmark. The map captures a rural Arkansas infrastructure defined by a network of country churches and small family cemeteries, such as Olive Branch Cem and Philadelphia Cem, which are often located near local high points like Tater Hill or Round Mountain.
