1952 Map of Mandeville

About this map

The Missouri Pacific and St Louis Southwestern railroads define the transportation corridors of Miller County, Arkansas, in the early 1950s. The landscape is a network of small settlements and rural landmarks, including the communities of Mandeville, Rondo, and Genoa. The northern portion of the map is dominated by the Texarkana Municipal Airport, while the surrounding countryside is dotted with local heritage sites such as Harrison Chapel Cem, Macedonia Ch, and the Ywca Camp Forky. Notable water features like Coca Cola Lake, Homan Bayou, and McKinney Bayou drain the undulating terrain. This survey provides a look at the mid-century intersection of regional aviation, agriculture, and rail transport, capturing the location of numerous family cemeteries including Polk Cem and Mt Oba Cem.
