1935 Map of Mist

About this map

Bayou Bartholomew snakes through the eastern reaches of the Mississippi River valley, defining a landscape of wetlands and winding waterways like Perkins Slough and Brake. The eastern edge of the quadrangle is marked by the Entire escarpment, a distinct geological break that separates the lower bottomlands from the higher plains. This era of Arkansas history is reflected in the heavy presence of logging infrastructure, with an extensive Abandoned Logging Railroad network branching across the northern and central sections near Lost Creek and Bearhouse Creek.
