1935 Map of Clarendon

About this map

Clarendon serves as the focal point of this 1930s survey, positioned where the St Louis Southwestern Railroad crosses the White River. The landscape is defined by the winding hydrology of the Cache River and Lagrue Bayou, creating a complex network of points and bends like Wolf Bend and Dead Man Pt. The river-dependent economy of the era is evident in features such as the Ramsey Mill Site and river crossings like Harris Ferry and Preston Ferry. Rural life in Monroe County and Arkansas County is anchored by numerous combined institutions, including the Philadelphia Ch & Sch and Bethlehem Sch & Ch. Smaller agricultural settlements like Roe and Ulm are connected by early road systems and the Missouri Pacific Railroad, while local commerce is represented by the Lookout Store at a prominent crossroads.
