1941 Map of De Valls Bluff

About this map

The White River and Cache River dominate this 1940s landscape, winding through a complex network of wetlands and oxbows in the Arkansas Delta. Centered on the town of De Valls Bluff, the map illustrates a region deeply connected to the timber industry and river transport, evidenced by the Chicago Mill & Lumber Co in the north and landings like Weeks Ldg along the riverbanks. The transportation corridor follows the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad, which links the settlements of Biscoe and Brasfield across the marshy terrain.
