1958 Map of Forrest City
USGS Topo · Published 1977About this map
Crowleys Ridge rises prominently above the surrounding alluvial plains, serving as the topographical anchor for Forrest City and its northward neighbor, Caldwell. This 1958 survey, updated with 1976 revisions, shows the post-war expansion of the city as it pushes toward the ridge, with newer residential areas appearing in purple tint. The landscape is defined by a dense network of rural institutions, including Lincoln High Sch and St Francis Sch, alongside numerous community churches like Mt Zion Ch and Wesley Chapel. Transportation routes such as the Missouri Pacific and the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroads intersect near the city center, highlighting the area's role as a regional transit hub. Extensive gravel operations, marked by numerous Gravel Pits, demonstrate the industrial utilization of the ridge’s unique geological composition.
