1967 Map of Humphrey

About this map

The town of Humphrey sits at the intersection of the St Louis Southwestern railroad and a landscape defined by intricate waterways at the junction of Lonoke, Jefferson, and Arkansas counties. The 1967 survey reveals a region managed for both agriculture and conservation, notably featuring the sprawling Bayou Meto State Game Area and the Dunnington BMSGA in the southern reaches. The geography is characterized by the winding path of Crooked Creek and the broader drainage of Bayou Meto, with landmarks like Glenwood Lake and the Gaging Station marking the hydraulic character of the Arkansas Delta. Rural life is anchored by local congregations such as Argo Chapel, Flynn Ch, and Bayou Meto Ch. The map also captures several distinct land tracts named Roberts, Belcher, Henton, and Morris, which reflect local landholding patterns in the mid-20th century.
