1972 Map of Arkansas Post

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The Arkansas Post National Memorial stands as a focal point at the confluence of the Arkansas River and Little Post Bayou, marking the site of one of the earliest European settlements in the Lower Mississippi Valley. By the early 1970s, the landscape surrounding this historic ground was a complex network of wetlands and modern water management features, including the Arkansas Post Canal and Lake Merrisach. The presence of several family and community burial grounds, such as Champion Cem, Hinmon Cem, and Massey Cem, underscores the deep genealogical roots in this rural Arkansas region. North of the memorial, the sprawling Dismal Swamp contrasts with the agricultural layout near Gillett, illustrating the balance between the area's wild bottomlands and its developed farming communities during this era.
