1961 Map of Menifee

About this map

Menifee sits at the heart of this Arkansas landscape, where the Missouri Pacific railroad cuts a straight path across the southern terrain. This 1961 survey, updated with revisions through the early 1980s, reveals a community deeply rooted in its local institutions, from the County Training Sch and Union Chapel Sch to numerous rural sanctuaries like Zion Temple and Mt Hebrew Ch. The map illustrates the transition from the winding oxbows of Old River Lake and the Cadron Creek bottomlands to the rising elevations of Ragsdale Mtn. This topographic record highlights how transport and water influenced settlement patterns, showing clusters of development near Gap Creek and Cypress Creek, while industrial activity is noted at the Shale Pit and southern Quarry.
