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 to the north and the rising peaks of the Ouachitas to the south. Prominent river settlements such as Dardanelle and Russellville anchor the region, with the striking geological formation of Dardanelle Rock marking a significant river bend. The map illustrates a period when community identity was tied closely to township boundaries like Galla Rock, Delaware, and Fergeson.
