1961 Map of Gleason

About this map

Arkansas River bends sharply through this region, shaping a landscape defined by expansive floodplains like Portland Bottoms and the prominent elevations of Toms Mountain and Jefferson Mountain. This 1960s-era geography, with updates through the early 1980s, documents the critical river infrastructure at Toad Suck Ferry Lock & Dam and the Missouri Pacific railroad line skirting the northern ridge at Gleason. Smaller rural centers and crossroads like Nogal and Toad Suck are identified alongside several local congregations, including Pleasant Hill Ch and Bethel Ch. Genealogists may find value in the specific locations of Stony Point Cem and Casey Cem, while the industrial footprint is visible through the Waterworks and a Shale Pit located near Donald Ridge.
