1958 Map of Forrest City
USGS Topo · Published 1959About this map
Forrest City sits at the base of the dramatic Crowleys Ridge landform in the late 1950s, serving as a hub where the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific and Missouri Pacific railroads intersect. The landscape is a sharp transition between the alluvial bottomlands of the L'Anguille River and the elevated, gravel-rich terrain of the ridge. The map reveals a dense network of rural community centers, from the Caldwell Sch near the settlement of Caldwell to numerous country churches like Hogan Chapel and Prosperity Ch. Local industry and infrastructure are represented by several Gravel Pits along the ridge and a prominent Radio Tower on the heights above the city. Educational and social foundations are evident in the presence of Lincoln High Sch and St Francis Sch, alongside Memorial Hospital, reflecting the town's role as a regional center.
