1959 Map of Arkadelphia

About this map

Arkadelphia serves as the focal point of this Clark County survey, showing the town's expansion toward the Ouachita River and the campus of Ouachita Baptist University. The landscape is defined by the Missouri Pacific railroad corridor, which links the city to outlying communities like Gum Springs and Richwoods. Rural life in the mid-20th century is well-documented through several family and community landmarks, including Rose Hill Cem, Richwoods Cem, and Mt Zion Ch.
