1966 Map of De Queen NW

About this map

Eagle Mountain and Williams Mtn overlook a complex watershed where the state boundaries of Arkansas and Oklahoma meet. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Robinson Creek and the Rolling Fork, which flow southward toward the emerging De Queen Lake. This mid-century survey captures the area as it prepared for controlled inundation, with blue hatching indicating the future extent of the reservoir. Cultural markers such as Oak Grove Cem and Mill Creek Cem sit near established watercourses like Mill Creek, reflecting the early settlement patterns of Sevier County. A long Pipeline cuts across the western terrain, contrasting with the natural drainage of Cane Creek and Ash Creek. The map records a specific transitional moment in the local geography, documenting the terrain before the full impact of the lake development.
