1963 Map of West Pangburn

About this map

The Little Red River winds through the northern portion of this quadrangle, carving dramatic features like Andrews Bend and Cooter Neck Bend as it passes beneath Libby Bluff. This early 1960s landscape is characterized by its rural infrastructure, featuring an Old Railroad Grade and several river crossings such as Slick Rock Ford and Whitehead Ford. Settlements are sparse but well-defined by their community landmarks, including the small gathering point at Center Ridge and the outskirts of West Pangburn. Genealogists will find several burial sites and houses of worship, such as Goff Cem, Mt Zion Ch, and Goodspring Ch. The terrain transitions from the river valley to higher ground at Sugar Loaf Mountain and along Chinkapin Ridge, revealing a mid-century Arkansas interior defined by narrow hollows like Stillhouse Hollow and Wolf Den Hollow.
