1967 Map of Henrico SW

About this map

The White River National Wildlife Refuge dominates this delta landscape, where the confluence of major waterways and managed wetlands illustrates the mid-century transformation of the Arkansas river system. The construction of the Arkansas Post Canal and the engineering of Lock and Dam No 1 and Lock No 2 altered the historical flow of the White River, integrating this remote wetland into the modern inland navigation system. This 1967 survey captures a geography of transition, where ancient terrain like the Indian Mound Campground sits alongside family markers such as Hockenberry Cem. Small river access points like Jacks Bay Landing and Prairie Landing emphasize the continued reliance on the river for transport and local industry, while the Missouri Pacific railroad skirts the southeastern corner, connecting the bayou country to the broader rail economy.
