1975 Map of England SE

About this map

Crooked Creek snakes through a heavily cultivated landscape in this mid-1970s orthophotograph, its winding path and oxbow remnants revealing the natural hydrology of the Arkansas Delta. The area is defined by a geometric grid of agricultural fields, punctuated by small rural settlements like Humnoke and Allport. This specific type of imagery, an orthophotograph produced by the U.S. Geological Survey from aerial photography taken in late 1975, offers a photographic record of land use and drainage patterns that standard topographic maps might overlook. To the west, the settlement of Coy sits near the banks of Salt Bayou, while Seaton occupies a central position along the meandering creek. The map illustrates the transition of the local landscape as traditional watercourses were integrated into an intensive regional farming system.
