1951 Map of Alma
USGS Topo · Published 1951About this map
Alma and the surrounding Crawford County bottomlands are defined by the winding course of the Arkansas River and its numerous tributaries. In the early post-war era, this region supported a diverse mix of infrastructure, from the Missouri Pacific railroad corridor to the numerous natural gas wells labeled simply as gas scattered across the landscape. The river's influence is evident in the complex drainage patterns of Frog Bayou, House Slough, and the expansive Arbuckle Island, alongside man-made features like the Alma Airfield. Local history is preserved through scattered rural landmarks, including Pleasant Home Church, Woods Cemetery, and an abandoned mine near Mays Branch. The map also captures several smaller communities such as Dyer, Kibler, and Yoestown, providing a detailed look at the agricultural and industrial footprint of the Arkansas River Valley before modern development altered these historic property lines.
