1951 Map of Colony

USGS Topo · Published 1951

About this map

The North Fabius River and its meandering Old Channel define the southern landscape of this 1951 survey, where the boundaries of Clark, Scotland, Knox, and Lewis counties converge. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of rural infrastructure, from the village of Fairmont in Washington township to the eponymous settlement of Colony further south. This era of rural education transition is clearly visible, with several institutions already marked as inactive, including Arkansas Sch and Davis Sch. For genealogists, the map preserves the locations of family-named burial grounds like Sutter Cem and Standiford Cem. The hydrology is equally detailed, featuring the Little Wyaconda River and numerous tributaries such as Shaffer Creek and Vernon Branch, which carved the undulating landscape prior to modern development.
