1952 Map of Fouke

About this map

Fouke serves as the primary hub in this southwest Arkansas landscape, situated along a prominent rail line in a region defined by a dense network of creek drainages. The topography is marked by the meandering paths of Days Creek, Beech Creek, and Boggy Creek, which carve through the townships of Garland and Cleveland. Local social life in the early 1950s is anchored by numerous rural congregations, including Salem Ch, Sylverino Ch, and Boyd Ch, often found near small junctions like Berryman Crossroads. For genealogists, the presence of the Gibson Cem and small settlements like Boyd provides critical spatial data for tracing family roots in Miller County. The map also reveals the local extractive industry through several Gravel Pits scattered near the rail corridors, reflecting the area's mid-century economic activities.
