1970 Map of Gurdon
USGS Topo · Published 1972About this map
The Missouri Pacific railroad corridor anchors the landscape of southern Clark County, linking the manufacturing and transit hubs of Gurdon and Beirne. Around 1970, Gurdon's industrial and municipal footprint is evidenced by the Gurdon Municipal Airfield, a Substation, and large water bodies like Gurdon Pond No 1. The town is well-served by local institutions, including Rose Hedge Cem and Eastern Star Ch, reflecting its role as a regional center. To the northwest, the rural character remains dominant, defined by the winding course of South Fork Terre Noire Creek and Terre Noire Creek. Scattered settlements like Center Point and several country churches, such as New Casey Ch and South Fork Ch, dot the timbered hills. The presence of a Claypit and Gravel Pit indicates local extractive industries supporting the area's growth during this era of Arkansas development.
