1960 Map of Mist

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

Bayou Bartholomew snakes through the eastern reach of this delta landscape, defining a terrain of cypress brakes, sloughs, and oxbow lakes like Lloyds Lake. In the early 1960s, this region of Ashley County was anchored by the Missouri Pacific railroad, which connected the settlements of Montrose, Snyder, and Mist. The map documents a rural society built around small community centers and family landmarks, with numerous country churches such as Bethlehem Ch and New Providence Ch serving the area. The prevalence of named cemeteries, including Griswould Cem and Townsend Cem, provides a detailed record of local family history near the Drew and Ashley County line. In the central woods, the Lookout Tower stands as a sentinel over the drainages of Bearhouse Creek and Wolf Creek, while to the south, the landscape opens into the level expanses of the Prairie and Banner districts.
