1898 Map of Winslow #3

About this map

Uniontown and the surrounding Crawford County highlands are documented here during the late nineteenth century, reflecting a landscape defined by small upland settlements and winding creek drainages. This work, originally published by the Geological Survey of Arkansas, highlights a period before the modernization of the Ozark foothills. The eastern edge of the survey follows the route of the St. L. & S. F. R. R. as it parallels Frog Bayou near the community of Rudy. Inland, the terrain is marked by isolated locales such as Cedarville, Stattler, and Oliver Sprs. These settlements are connected by early trails and roads that navigate the complex topography of Webbers Cr. and Clear Creek. The inclusion of specific water sources like Sulphur Spr underscores the importance of natural landmarks to the rural residents of the 1890s.
