1968 Map of Georgetown

About this map

The White River meanders in tight oxbows through this wetland landscape, forming a natural boundary between White and Woodruff counties. The terrain is defined by a dense network of sloughs, creeks, and lakes, many within the Hurricane Lake State Game Area. Small settlements and landings like Georgetown, Nimmo, and Princeton Landing anchor the riverside, while rural life is marked by the presence of Faith Assembly Ch and Lone Star Ch. The confluence of the Little Red River and the White River highlights the historical importance of these waterways for transport and survival. Genealogists may find value in the location of the Nelson Cem and various family-named features like Graham Point and Gravelly Point, which suggest the deep roots of local residents in this river-bottom country.
