1954 Map of Edmondson

About this map

Edmondson and Crawfordsville anchor this mid-century landscape in eastern Arkansas, where the Mississippi River forms a natural boundary at Cow Island Bend. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainage and transport, with the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific and Missouri Pacific railroads cutting through the Delta flatlands. The map reveals a high concentration of rural social centers, often combining education and faith, such as the New Shady Grove Sch, Ch & Cem and Pilgrim Rest Sch, Ch & Cem.
