About this map

The Chicago Rock Island and Pacific RR anchors the southern landscape of this 1941 survey, connecting the towns of Carlisle and Hazen. This corridor reflects the agricultural and transportation heart of the Grand Prairie region, where the rail line runs parallel to U. S. Route 70. The surrounding rural landscape is remarkably dense with community landmarks, particularly schools and churches that served as local hubs. These include unique dual-purpose sites such as Hickory Plains Ch Sch & Cem and Pinch Sch & Ch.

Drainage patterns defined by Wattensaw Bayou and Bayou La Grue reveal the low-lying prairie terrain. Smaller settlements like Barrettsville, Screeton, and Prairie Center appear as established crossroads, each with its own network of local schools like Cuneo Sch and Tittler Sch. The presence of the Fire Tower (Forest) near Green Grove Ch indicates the transition from open prairie into managed timberlands.
