1936 Arkansas Atlas
General Highway and Transportation Maps Counties of Arkansas, 1936 This book contains maps of each of Arkansas' 75 counties, done in 1936, and printed in an 11X17 inch format. The maps show a much greater level of detail than current-day county maps produced by the highway department. These maps show the named civil townships (divisions of counties), the survey (numbered) townships, roads and their condition, ferries, bridges, waterways, latitude and longitude numbers, towns and cities, schools, farms, fire towers, cemeteries, churches, sawmills, mines, factories, businesses, etc.
Here's a small sample from the Stone County map (just the area around Herpel). That little square with the flag on top is where my Grandpa went to school through the fourth grade, and the little square to the east of it is Uncle Charlie Williams' log cabin where he and Aunt Bert raised eleven children. I could go on, but you get the idea. This is just a tiny portion of Stone County (my favorite portion). You can take this book of maps to a copy machine with an enlarging feature and make copies of the specific areas where your folks lived. With information from federal land patents, donation land records, county deed records, etc., you can write in the residences from range & township survey descriptions. A note: the maps are reproduced from originals that were small to start with. The print is tiny on these maps. You may need a magnifying glass.
