About this map

The Little Black River winds along the western edge of this 1964 survey, defining a landscape where the river's natural course meets an increasingly organized system of drainage infrastructure. This delta-fringe territory is crisscrossed by man-made channels like Cypress Ditch, Indian Creek, and Townsend Ditch, reflecting the mid-century agricultural transformation of the Arkansas-Missouri border. The St Louis-San Francisco railroad serves as the primary spine for the small settlements of Success and Datto, which anchor the rural community alongside numerous family-named cemeteries and churches.

Genealogists will find significant detail in the distribution of local landmarks such as Hitt Cem, Masterson Cem, and Richwoods Cem. The map also highlights specialized land use at the U S Fish Hatchery near the eastern margin. The presence of named townships and land tracts like Carpenter, Nelson, and Kilgore provides a clear view of how early property divisions shaped the development of Clay and Randolph counties.
