1941 Map of Cabot

About this map

Bacon Ridge and the Missouri Mountains dominate the northwestern landscape of this Arkansas survey, conducted just before the United States entered the second World War. This detailed study, sponsored by the Arkansas Geological Survey and mapped by the U.S. Geological Survey, provides a precise record of the transition from the rugged ridges down into the flatlands of Caroline and Goodrum townships. The Missouri Pacific railroad serves as the primary artery for the town of Cabot, while smaller rural settlements like Holland are connected by a network of local thoroughfares including McKenzie Road and Tate Road. The area is densely punctuated by country churches and community centers, from Mt Carmel Ch in the east to Ebenezer Ch and Bayou Meto Ch in the south, reflecting a well-established social fabric tied to the land and the local waters of Two Prairie Bayou.
