About this map

The lowlands of the Ouachita River basin dominate this 1930s landscape, where intricate waterways like Grand Marais and Redeye Lake weave through a terrain defined by ridges and sloughs. This area along the Arkansas-Louisiana border centers on the industrial and transit hubs of Felsenthal and Huttig, both served by the Missouri Pacific railroad. The map illustrates a complex river economy, where Logging RR lines snake through the bottomlands toward Pea Ridge and Horton Island.

Genealogists will find significant local landmarks including Lapile Cem, Macedonian Cem, and the Smith Chapel. Small rural institutions like Wallace Sch and Cooter Sch suggest the distribution of late Depression-era communities. Unique landmarks such as an Artesian Well and the Indian Mound near Sulphur Springs provide evidence of both natural resources and ancient habitation in the Eagle Lake region.
