1968 Map of Georgetown

About this map

Georgetown and the serpentine White River define this riverine landscape in White County, Arkansas. The map details a complex network of oxbow lakes and bottomlands, including the extensive Hurricane Lake State Game Area. Numerous family-named and descriptive water bodies like Three Sisters Lake, Big Hurricane Lake, and Little Green Tom Lake illustrate the seasonal flooding and shifting hydrology of the region. The river's role in local commerce is evidenced by Princeton Landing and Postal Landing, alongside the Gaging Station located near the town of Georgetown. Away from the river, small rural nodes such as Mitchell Corner and Nimmo appear, often anchored by local congregations like Faith Assembly Ch and Lone Star Ch. For genealogists, the Nelson Cemetery and proximity to the Woodruff and White County line provide specific locational data for families who lived along the river’s edge.
