1939 Map of Doniphan
USGS Topo · Published 1958About this map
Current River meanders through the center of this Ripley County landscape, serving as the primary axis for development in the late 1930s. The town of Doniphan acts as the regional hub, where the Missouri Pacific railroad terminates near the riverbank. This era shows a densely populated rural backcountry, evidenced by a high concentration of schoolhouses like Pleasant Grove Sch, Price Sch, and Rosson Sch distributed across the hollows. To the west, the Clark National Forest boundary marks a shift toward more wooded, dissected terrain. Riverside tourism and local industry are visible through named clusters such as Matthews Cabins, Moreys Cabins, and the Bluff Cottage settlement. Along the southern border, the community of Current View sits directly on the Missouri-Arkansas state line, while Macedonia Lookout provides a high-point vantage over the forested ridges of Barren Hollow and Buffalo Hollow.
