1960 Map of El Dorado
USGS Topo · Published 1960About this map
The Ouachita River and Saline River define the drainage of South Central Arkansas in this mid-century survey, which reveals a landscape deeply influenced by natural resources and defense infrastructure. Large concentrations of Oil and Gas Fields dominate the vicinity of El Dorado and Smackover, while the presence of the U S Naval Ammunition Depot north of Camden highlights the region's strategic importance. Moving west toward Magnolia and Hope, the map documents the transition into agricultural research areas like the University of Arkansas Experiment Station. Transportation networks are well-established, with the Missouri Pacific and St Louis Southwestern railroads connecting timber and industrial towns. Local history is preserved through markers for the Old Park Cem and Macedonia Church, providing fine-grain detail for genealogists tracing family roots across the Arkansas-Louisiana border.
