1966 Map of De Queen NW

About this map

The De Queen Reservoir dominates the lower right quadrant of this 1960s landscape, illustrating the transformative water management projects of the era along the Rolling Fork. This survey documents a critical period of change for the borderlands between Arkansas and Oklahoma, specifically where McCurtain County and Sevier County meet. The area is defined by a dense network of winding watercourses, including the serpentine Robinson Creek and Ozark Fork, which cut through the prominent elevations of Williams Mtn. Local history is preserved through the locations of rural landmarks such as Midway Ch and community burial grounds like Oak Grove Cem and Mill Creek Cem. The presence of a significant Pipeline crossing the terrain from northwest to southeast further marks the integration of industrial infrastructure into this heavily wooded, creek-fed environment.
