1952 Map of Fouke NE

About this map

McKinney Bayou and the Red River dominate this Miller County landscape, where the fertile bottomlands of Lost Prairie meet the rising elevations of Wolf Mountain. The mapping shows a rural environment defined by the winding paths of abandoned river channels, now preserved as First Old River Lake and Second Old River Lake. The region's development follows the St Louis Southwestern RR, which cuts across the southern portion of the sheet near Artex. Community life is anchored by country landmarks like Tregg Ch, Troy Ch, and the Rock Springs Cem nestled near Krause Hill. This survey captures the transition from lowland bayous to upland hills, noting industrial touches like Oil Wells and a Lookout Tower that highlight the local economy and resource management of the early 1950s.
