1952 Map of Fouke

About this map

The lowlands of Miller County are defined by an intricate network of waterways including Days Creek, Boggy Creek, and Beech Creek. These creeks wind through several land divisions such as Cleveland and Beech, where local life centered around a series of community churches. Small rural gatherings are recorded at Salem Ch, Cedar Grove Ch, and Sylverino Ch, while Gibson Cem provides a focal point for genealogical research. In the south, the town of Fouke serves as a primary settlement alongside smaller crossroads like Ferguson Crossroads and Boyd. The landscape is also marked by early infrastructure, including a prominent Pipeline and various Gravel Pits that suggest the local industries of the mid-20th century. The presence of an Indefinite Boundary and features like Snake Lake further illustrate the shifting, aqueous nature of this Arkansas terrain.
