About this map

The Little Red River defines the landscape of this Arkansas survey, winding through the Cooter Neck Bend north of Libby Bluff. The terrain is marked by significant topographical features such as Sugar Loaf Mountain and the high points of Chinkapin Ridge. Local life in the mid-20th century is anchored by several rural landmarks, including the Sugar Loaf Ch and Mt Zion Cem on the western edge, and Goodspring Ch nestled near Rockhouse Hollow.

Evidence of the area's transport history is visible in the Old Railroad Grade and the Winkley Bridge crossing. Small settlements like Center Ridge and West Pangburn serve as local hubs, while numerous named hollows like Stillhouse Hollow and Wolf Den Hollow suggest a landscape deeply tied to family homesteads and local geography. The map also records a Landing Strip and a Quarry, reflecting a mix of modern infrastructure and resource extraction during this era.
