1956 Map of Manila
USGS Topo · Published 1982About this map
The Big Lake National Wildlife Refuge dominates this mid-century landscape, a wetland complex centered on Big Lake and punctuated by elevations like Gun Island and Hog Island. This area of the Missouri-Arkansas border shows a highly engineered hydraulic system, where an extensive network of drainage features such as Ditch No 58 and Ditch No 26 was vital for transforming the floodplain into productive agricultural land. The regional economy is clearly marked by the presence of large agricultural estates, including the Loethers Plantation, Veget Plantation, and Brinkley Plantation.
