About this map

Piney Creek and its various forks dominate this 1980s landscape in Izard County, where small rural communities are connected by a network of unimproved roads and a notable Wooden Pole Trans Line. The map reveals a high density of burial grounds and rural houses of worship, such as Old Philadelphia Cem and Concord Ch, which provide significant points of interest for genealogical research in north-central Arkansas.

Settlements like La Crosse, Philadelphia, and Bone Town appear alongside natural features like Gillihan Lake and Piney Hollow. The presence of several Gravel Pits and a Landing Strip near Mt Pleasant indicates the small-scale local industry and infrastructure of the era. The terrain is marked by the winding paths of Rocky Bayou and Poke Bayou, reflecting the traditional upland settlement patterns of the Ozark foothills.
