USGS Topo · Published 1942About this map
Marvell serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape, situated along the Missouri Pacific railroad. The map documents a dense network of small rural communities and tenant farms, characterized by numerous country churches and schools such as Thompson Chapel & Cem and Midway Col Sch. This era in the Arkansas Delta shows a highly developed system of water management, evidenced by drainage features like Main Ditch and its various laterals, which allowed for expanded cultivation between Big Creek and Crooked Creek.
