1958 Map of Mena

About this map

The mountain town of Mena serves as a hub of industry and transport in the late 1950s, defined by its position along the Kansas City Southern railroad and at the foot of Dallas Mountain. This survey reveals the community's mid-century expansion, with schools like Stilwell Sch and Jr High Sch serving the local population, and the Mena Municipal Landing Field providing an early aviation link. To the east, rural life centers on small crossroads and water sources, including the settlement of Nunley and the waters of Mena Lake.
