1958 Map of Jonesboro

About this map

Arkansas State College stands at the northern edge of Jonesboro, anchoring a landscape where the urban grid meets the agricultural reaches of Craighead County. This mid-century survey details the expansion of the regional hub, showing the proximity of Nettleton and the recreational space at Craighead Forest Park. The terrain is defined by a sophisticated water management network, including Main Ditch and numerous laterals such as Lateral No 3, reflecting the region's reliance on managed drainage for its farm economy.
