1950 Map of Ben Lomond

About this map

Ben Lomond and the surrounding Arkansas lowlands are defined by the winding course of the Little River, which snakes through the southern half of this mid-century survey. The landscape is a composite of rural settlements and industrial vestiges, notably the White Cliffs Station and the nearby White Cliffs School. By the mid-1970s, the emergence of Millwood Lake in the southeast corner fundamentally altered the local drainage, inundating previous terrain near the Saline River confluence. Genealogy and local history researchers will find a dense network of community centers, including Rice Chapel, Gravelly Hill Ch, and the Brownstown Cem. An Old Railroad grade and a modern pipeline trace the evolution of transit and infrastructure through the timber and agricultural lands of the Washington and Cleveland townships.
