1964 Map of Gould
USGS Topo · Published 1975About this map
Gould serves as the primary hub of this Arkansas Delta landscape in the mid-1960s, situated along the Missouri Pacific rail line. The map reveals an intricate network of drainage and irrigation essential to the local agricultural economy, including the Kerch Canal and Ladd Canal, which weave between the serpentine curves of Choctaw Bayou and Wells Bayou. Rural life is anchored by numerous community landmarks such as the Wells Bayou School and a collection of country churches like Mount Moriah and Union Grove. Small-scale aviation is represented by the Hudson Landing Strip and Mayer Airport, reflecting the era's reliance on aerial application for crops. The boundary between Lincoln Co and Desha Co bisects the region, where family-named sites like Thomas Cemetery and Madden Cemetery provide valuable touchpoints for genealogical research.
