1941 Map of Goldman

About this map

Stuttgart anchors the northeastern corner of this Grand Prairie landscape, where the St Louis Southwestern railroad cuts through a terrain defined by extensive water management and irrigation. The transition from the developed town site to the surrounding wetlands is marked by a complex network of man-made structures, including the Sunshine Water Co Reservoir and Tindall Reservoir. Along the winding courses of Bayou Meto and Little Bayou Meto, the map documents numerous historic community hubs such as Humphrey and Goldman. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of rural landmarks, ranging from the Lone Tree Cem and Catholic Cem to several combined school and church sites like Alcorn Sch Corinth Ch and Flynn Ch & Cem, illustrating the settlement patterns of Arkansas and Jefferson counties during the early 1940s.
