About this map

The Pine Bluff Arsenal dominates the landscape north of White Hall, revealing a complex network of industrial and military infrastructure during the 1970s. This installation is characterized by numerous security points like Dexter Gate and Warbritton Gate, alongside a dedicated U. S. Govt RR system. The geography is defined by the sharp transition from the elevated Arsenal Bluff and Tippetts Bluff down to the bottomlands of the Arkansas River Hensley Bar Cutoff.

South of the military grounds, the expansion of White Hall is evident in the purple-tinted residential areas of Henslee Heights and Oakland Heights. Rural life persists on the periphery through established landmarks such as White Hall Sch and several country churches like Morris Chapel and Bethany Ch. The map captures a moment when traditional rail lines, including the Missouri Pacific and St Louis Southwestern, integrated the river economy with growing suburban developments.
