About this map

Stewards Mill and the surrounding Freestone County countryside are documented here in the early 1960s, revealing a landscape defined by small rural hubs and dispersed family burial grounds. The settlement pattern is anchored by locations like Bonnerville and Rhode Island, while the economy is marked by the presence of several Gas Well sites scattered throughout the terrain. Genealogists will find this particular survey especially useful for its high density of small cemeteries, including the Old Antioch Cem, Johnson Cem, Bateman Cem, and the Day Cem.

Waterways like Tehuacana Creek and Cottonwood Creek dictate the drainage of these woodlots and pastures, which are dotted with country churches such as Longs Ch and Pleasant Grove Ch. The inclusion of specific landmarks like Banks Stop and the community at Ward Prairie provides a clear view of the local road network and social centers before late-twentieth-century developments altered the rural character of this region.
