1890 Map of Dardanelle

About this map

The Arkansas River serves as the central artery for this late 19th-century survey, dividing the landscape between the foothills of the Ozarks and the Ouachita Mountains. Significant riverfront settlements like Russellville and Dardanelle are established hubs, connected by the striking landmark of Dardanelle Rock and the wide sweep of Holly Bend. The map illustrates a rural economy reliant on water power and navigation, with numerous small communities such as Lutherville, Scottsville, and Knoxville dotting the terrain.
