1983 Map of Conway
USGS Topo · Published 1984About this map
The Arkansas River corridor dominates this 1980s landscape, serving as the central artery for the region's transportation and industry. The Missouri Pacific RR tracks parallel the river's winding path through Morrilton, Blackwell, and Atkins, following the historic floodplain. This era of the Arkansas interior shows a transition from traditional river-and-rail settlements like Toad Suck and Menifee toward larger water-management and recreation areas. To the northeast, the sprawling waters of Greers Ferry Lake represent the massive mid-century hydraulic engineering projects that reshaped the Ozark foothills. Genealogists can locate rural landmarks such as Plants Chapel and Sardis Cem, while the inclusion of the Camp Robinson State Wildlife Management Area and Gulf Mountain State Wildlife Management Area highlights the extensive public land use in the central part of the state.
