1940 Map of Deckerville

USGS Topo · Published 1942

About this map

The Tyronza River and St Francis River wind through this delta landscape in the years before World War II, revealing a complex network of drainage ditches and bayous essential to the region's agriculture. The map captures a moment when the St Louis San Francisco RR and Missouri Pacific RR anchored the local economy, connecting rail-side settlements like Tyronza and Gilmore. This survey is particularly rich for genealogical research, documenting numerous rural institutions such as the King Solomon Sch & Cem, Spring Hill Ch & Cem, and Galilee Ch & Sch. The land is dotted with Indian Mounds, particularly near Tyronza, indicating a deep human history predating the extensive 20th-century levee and ditch systems. Cultural landmarks like Wooden Chapel and Wesley Temple serve as markers for community hubs that defined life in Crittenden County and Poinsett County during this era.
