1968 Map of Lodge Corner

About this map

Bayou Meto and an intricate network of waterways dominate this Arkansas County landscape, reflecting the delta's reliance on managed water systems and diverse drainage. The area is defined by oxbow features like Benson Lake and Horseshoe Lake, alongside numerous Reservoir developments that support the local agricultural economy. Small community centers such as Lodge Corner and Hagler serve as anchors in a landscape largely dedicated to the Bayou Meto State Game Area. Local history is preserved through landmarks like Youngblood Bridge and several country churches, including Jesus Name Ch and Brewer Ch, while the Bayless Cem stands as a quiet marker of the region's rural families. The map illustrates the transition from the winding natural bayous like King Bayou and Kaney Bayou to the straight-line logic of modern field boundaries and flumes.
