1952 Map of Doddridge SE

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The Red River and Sulphur River dominate this 1950s landscape, winding through a complex network of bayous and former river channels along the Arkansas-Louisiana border. The intricate river-and-rail economy of the era is evident in the presence of the Spring Bank Ferry and Missionary Ferry, which provided essential crossings before modern bridge infrastructure unified the region. This survey captures a moment when rural life centered around local gathering places, from the Kiblah Sch near Smithville to a high density of country churches including New Hope Ch, Promised Land Ch, and Bethlehem Ch. The bottomlands are marked by distinctive water features like Blue Hole and the curiously named Old Bed Rotten Lake, reflecting the shifting nature of the local hydrology and the diverse terrain of Beech, Sulphur, and Roane.
