1970 Map of White Hall

About this map

The Arkansas River dominates the eastern half of this landscape, its path defined by the Hensley Bar Cutoff and several oxbow remnants including Yellow Lake and Tulley Lake. The western portion is characterized by a significant military footprint, with the Arsenal Headquarters and extensive infrastructure of the Pine Bluff Arsenal. This industrial and military presence is tethered to the regional transit network by the U. S. Government Railroad and the Missouri Pacific line. Residential development is clustered in settlements like White Hall, Oakland Heights, and Henslee Heights, which transitioned from the rural character of the river bluffs. Local history is anchored by community landmarks such as Plainview Sch and several small rural cemeteries including Musgrove Cem and McFadden Cem, marking the legacy of families settled along the fertile river bottomlands near Pastoria.
