1986 Map of Umpire

About this map

Umpire serves as a central hub in this mid-1980s landscape, where the foothills of the Ouachita National Forest meet the drainages of the Saline River. The map captures a transition from organized timber and conservation lands, such as the Caney Creek State Wildlife Management Area, to the scattered agricultural settlements of Mineola and Moore. The terrain is defined by a dense network of tributaries including White Oak Creek, Millseat Branch, and Tobe Branch, which historically dictated the placement of early homesteads and cemeteries.
