About this map

Johnsville and the surrounding timberlands of Bradley County are defined by the winding course of the Saline River, which forms the eastern boundary of this Arkansas landscape. The area is characterized by a low-lying, water-rich environment where the river creates distinctive features like Oxbow Bend, Robinson Bay, and Norrel Island. This proximity to the river supported early commerce at Moores Mill and established a network of rural settlements, including Vick and Broad, which remain connected by long-standing routes such as Ar 189.

For genealogists and local historians, several burial sites and community centers provide critical research anchors. These include the Johnsville Cem, Palestine Cem, and the Calvary Presbyterian Cem. The presence of the Hampton Chapel Cem further inland reflects the dispersed nature of these historic upland communities. The southern reaches of the map show the industrial influence of the region's natural resources, anchored by Lake Georgia Pacific and the numerous named tributaries like Snake Cr and White Oak Cr that feed into the river basin.
