1962 Map of Lisbon

About this map

Lisbon Oil and Gas Field and several neighboring extraction zones dominate this South Arkansas landscape, reflecting the heavy industrial footprint of petroleum production in the early 1960s. The settlement of Lisbon sits as a central hub amidst a network of rural churches and family burial grounds, including Sweet Canaan Ch and the Lone Oak Cem. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of Smackover Creek and Richland Creek, which cut through the wooded hills and dales of the Ouachita and Union county line. Local genealogists will find value in the specific placement of community landmarks like Dumas City and several smaller cemeteries such as Yocum Cem and Hicks Cem, which are documented alongside the infrastructure of the Pace City Oil and Gas Field and Bear Creek Oil and Gas Field.
