1957 Map of Deckerville

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

The Tyronza River and St Francis River dominate this mid-century landscape in eastern Arkansas, where a complex network of ditches and bayous drained the fertile delta for agriculture. Surveyed by the Corps of Engineers and the U.S. Geological Survey, the map reveals a deeply established rural community defined by dozens of small country churches and schools, many of which served as local centers for both worship and education. Settlements like Tyronza, Gilmore, and Earle are connected by the Missouri Pacific railroad, reflecting the vital rail-and-river economy of the era. Genealogists will find significant value in the detailed plotting of family-named landmarks and institutions, such as the Cherry Bean Ch Sch & Cem, Gibson Bayou Ch & Cem, and the Abston Wynne Sch, illustrating the dispersed but organized social fabric of the Mississippi River floodplain.
