1964 Map of Knobel

About this map

The Missouri Pacific railroad corridor anchors the small settlement of Knobel in this mid-century survey of the Northeast Arkansas lowlands. The landscape is defined by its complex hydrology, where the Black River meanders through the Black River State Game Area and the Cache River flows south across the Clay Co Greene Co line. Near the western edge, the distinct rise of Crowley Ridge provides a geological contrast to the surrounding drainage networks of Kramer Ditch and East Slough. This map is particularly valuable for genealogists, as it preserves the locations of local landmarks like Bond Cem and St Bernard Cem, alongside rural congregations at Walnut Grove Ch and Cache Lake Ch. The inclusion of an Old Railroad Grade running southeast from Knobel reveals the shifting transportation infrastructure that once served these timber and farming communities.
