1936 Map of Eudora

About this map

Eudora serves as the primary hub in this low-lying river country where the Missouri Pacific Railroad runs parallel to Macon Bayou. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of drainage and transport infrastructure, including the Standard Oil Pipe Line and numerous man-made channels like Canal No 2. These efforts to manage the wetlands are centered around natural features such as Hubbard Brake and the winding Boeuf River. Small rural communities and gathering places like Empire, Boueff, and Holly Grove Ch are scattered throughout the territory, linked by State Highway No 8. The presence of the Oil Pumping Station near the Arkansas and Louisiana border highlights the industrial activity supporting the region's economy during the mid-1930s.
