1966 Map of Kingsland

About this map

The St Louis Southwestern railroad cuts a diagonal path through the timbered landscape of southern Cleveland County, anchoring the town of Kingsland. This mid-century survey captures a rural Arkansas landscape defined by the winding course of Moro Creek, which serves as a natural boundary between Cleveland, Dallas, and Calhoun Counties. Significant water features like Tri-County Lake and the Saline River illustrate the hydrology of the Gulf Coastal Plain, while the presence of the Moro Lookout Tower indicates the importance of forest management during this era. Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks, including several rural burial grounds such as Kingsland Cem, Morgan Cem, and McCoy Cem. The map also documents local infrastructure ranging from the Fordyce Airport to small country houses of worship like Smith Ch and Mt Lebanon Ch.
