1955 Map of Buena Vista

About this map

The Arkansas River valley serves as the central artery for this mid-century survey, anchoring a landscape where mountain terrain meets industrial and civic development. Buena Vista appears as the primary hub, surrounded by institutional landmarks including the State Reformatory, the State Fish Hatchery, and the Municipal Airport. The map documents a transition in rural education, noting several decommissioned sites such as Berrian Sch, Riverside Sch, and Maxwell Sch, while Pine Creek Sch remains active in the north.
