About this map

Crossett and its northern suburbs are the focal point of this mid-1970s topographic study, illustrating the intensive industrial and infrastructure development of southern Arkansas. The landscape is heavily marked by the intersection of four major railroads: the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific, Ashley Drew and Northern, Missouri Pacific, and Arkansas and Louisiana Missouri. This dense rail network, alongside a series of large Gravel Pits, underscores the region's role as a logistical and industrial hub near the Louisiana border.

Civic life is well-documented through a variety of local landmarks, from the Drive-in theater in North Crossett to schools like Daniels Sch and Calhoun Sch. Traditional rural institutions persist on the outskirts, including several family and community burial grounds such as Pugh Cem and Crossroad Cem, alongside numerous churches like Beulah Land Ch and Jarvis Chapel. The presence of the Sewage Disposal Pond and Lily Pond near the city center provides a clear view of the municipal utilities supporting this growing community.
