1966 Map of Arcadia

About this map

Arcadia sits at the heart of this landscape, positioned along the Missouri - Kansas - Texas rail line and north of the winding Deep Fork river. The area demonstrates a mid-century balance between established agriculture and an active petroleum industry, visible through the Coon Creek Gas and Oil Field and scattered oil wells. Water management is a defining feature of the terrain, from the recreational waters of Lake Hiwassee to the specialized Fish Hatchery located near the eastern boundary. Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous burial sites documented across the countryside, including Donnell Cem, Gower Cem, and the IOOF Cem. The transportation network is anchored by the Turner Toll Road (Turnpike) in the south, while local travel relied on roads such as NE 178th St.
