About this map

McAlmont and the surrounding reaches of Gray Township appear here in a 1935 survey, revealing a landscape defined by meandering waterways and a dense network of early 20th-century railroads. The prominent curves of Ink Bayou and the Stark Bend of the Arkansas River floodplain create a complex environment of sloughs and lakes, including Brushy Lake and Peeler Lake. This era shows significant educational and religious infrastructure for local communities, evidenced by the Pulaski Training Sch, Coldwater Sch, and Sylvan Hills Community Ch.

Industrial and transport corridors are well-established, with the Missouri Pacific and Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroads converging near Frolho Junction. In the northern section, the presence of CCC Camp NO 11 reflects New Deal-era activity near Jacksonville. The map also captures several residential developments and family-named landmarks like Woodruff and Country Club Manor as they stood before mid-century expansion.
