1966 Map of De Roche

About this map

Jack Mountain and the Antioch Hills dominate the northern and eastern portions of this mid-1960s landscape, while the lower elevations are defined by the broad expanse of Montgomery Prairie and the drainages of Prairie Bayou and De Roche Creek. The settlement patterns here reveal a deeply rooted rural community, anchored by numerous family-named burial grounds and houses of worship. Small enclaves like De Roche and Caney are interspersed with historical sites such as Prairie Bayou Ch, Hickory Grove Ch, and several small cemeteries including Prince Cem and Beason Cem. A Gravel Pit near De Lisle Creek points to local extractive activity during this era of Hot Spring County development.
