1959 Map of Golden
USGS Topo · Published 1965About this map
The Glover River cuts a deep path through the Ouachita foothills of McCurtain County, dividing the map between the high ridges of Carter Mountain and the agricultural settlements to the south. In the late 1950s, the region was defined by its timber and rail connections, with the Industrial Railroad and the Kirk Little Rock line serving the industrial hub at Wright City. The landscape is dotted with small community centers like Golden and Oak Hill, often centered around rural schools such as Herndon Sch and Glover Sch. Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks, including several historic churches and cemeteries like Naniah Chito Ch and Lukfata Cem. The influence of the river is evident in the many family-named landforms, from Shuler Bend to Thompson Bend, and the various springs like Brigham Young Springs that feed into the larger creek systems.
