1956 Map of Marked Tree
USGS Topo · Published 1956About this map
The St Francis Sunk Lands dominate this mid-century landscape, illustrating the complex hydrology of the St Francis River basin. Following the flood control work of the early 1950s, the map reveals a highly engineered environment of levees and siphons designed to manage the water of the Little River and its various chutes. Local history and social life are anchored by landmarks like the Hatchie Coon Hunting Lodge and the Oak Donnick Club House, while industry is represented by the presence of Fry's Mill and Dewey Mill. The rail networks of the St Louis Southwestern and St Louis San Francisco connect the larger hubs of Marked Tree and Lepanto to smaller siding settlements like Tulot and Rivervale. Notable for genealogists, the sheet documents numerous country churches and burial sites, including the Nichols Cem and Rock of Ages Ch & Cent.
