1952 Map of Fouke

About this map

Fouke serves as the primary hub of this Miller County landscape in the early 1950s, situated at the junction of several rural routes and the Texas and Pacific railroad line. The settlement pattern is defined by several rural churches and local landmarks, including Boyd Ch, Salem Ch, and Cedar Grove Ch, alongside the Gibson Cem. These community centers are connected by a network of unimproved roads and light-duty paths that navigate a complex system of waterways. Significant drainage features like Days Creek, Beech Creek, and Boggy Creek dissect the terrain, while Snake Lake rests in the southern reaches. Industrial activity is evident through numerous Gravel Pits and a prominent Pipe Line cutting diagonally across the land, illustrating the post-war infrastructure development in this corner of Arkansas.
