About this map

Moro Creek winds through this South Arkansas landscape, serving as the primary boundary between Calhoun, Cleveland, and Bradley counties. The map reflects a rural economy shaped by timber and aggregate extraction, evidenced by various Gravel Pits and a network of creeks like L'Aigle Creek and Irish Bill Creek. The settlement at Tinsman is anchored by the W & O V railroad line, while local community life is marked by centers such as Ellisville Ch and Blue Springs Ch.

Historic transport routes including the Old Camden Road and the Fordyce and Princeton Road traverse the terrain, connecting isolated family landmarks and rural infrastructure. Genealogists can locate specific burial sites like the Williams Cem and nearby Williams Cem Spring. The survey detail captures a transitional period in the 1970s and 1980s, documenting the persistence of small-scale settlements and church-centered communities within the dense pine-forest regions of the Gulf Coastal Plain.
