1973 Map of Tinsman

About this map

Tinsman serves as the focal point of this South Arkansas survey, situated where the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad cuts through the timberlands of southern Calhoun County. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Moro Creek, which acts as a shifting natural boundary between Cleveland, Bradley, and Calhoun counties. A series of interconnected waterways including Big Slough, White Oak Creek, and Irish Bill Creek drain the surrounding lowlands, illustrating the complex hydrology of the Gulf Coastal Plain. Evidence of early overland travel remains visible in the path of the Old Camden Road, while local community life is anchored by landmarks like Ellisville Ch, Blue Springs Ch, and Williams Cem. Extractive activity is also present, marked by several Gravel Pits concentrated near the southern springs.
