About this map

An extensive Abandoned Ammunition Depot dominates the southern landscape of this 1970s survey, marking a significant military footprint between Ouachita and Calhoun counties. The area's industrial character is further defined by the St Louis Southwestern railroad, which services the small settlements of Millville and Eagle Mills. The presence of the State Police Academy and Southwest Technical Institute suggests a mid-century transition toward institutional and educational land use in the wake of former munitions activity.

Hydrological features like Freeo Creek, Two Bayou, and Mizzell Creek lace through the terrain, while numerous Gravel Pits indicate active resource extraction. For those researching family history, the map includes the Evans Cem and residential clusters at Salem and Shumaker. This detailed study provides a clear view of the intersection between rural Arkansas drainage systems and the evolving infrastructure of the post-war era.
