1967 Map of Henrico SW

About this map

The White River and its intricate network of oxbows and backwaters dominate this Delta landscape, illustrating a complex riparian environment in late 1960s Arkansas. Within the White River National Wildlife Refuge, numerous named water bodies like Black Lake, La Grue Lake, and Lower Parish Lake reflect the shifting historical course of the river. Human settlement is sparse and tied directly to the water, evidenced by river access points such as Jacks Bay Landing and Prairie Landing. To the south, the engineering of the Arkansas Post Canal is visible with Lock No 2 and Lock and Dam No 1, representing significant mid-century modifications to the natural drainage. Local heritage is grounded in landmarks like Malcolm Chapel, Gods Missionary Ch, and the Hockenberry Cem, which provide specific points of interest for genealogical research in this riverine terrain.
