1937 Map of Ingalls

About this map

The Ouachita River winds through the southwestern corner of this territory, where the bottomlands meet a series of prominent ridges including Sand Ridge and Garrett Ridge. This mid-1930s landscape is defined by its rural infrastructure, centered on the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad which cuts diagonally across the townships of Washington, Eagle, and Palestine. The area maintains a high density of community landmarks from the early 20th century, notably a network of small schoolhouses like Newton Sch and Broad Sch, alongside local spiritual centers such as Crossroads Ch.
