1981 Map of Montrose
USGS Topo · Published 1982About this map
The low-lying delta landscape of Ashley and Chicot counties is defined by an intricate network of slow-moving water, where the Big Bayou and Crooked Bayou meander through flat bottomlands. In the early 1980s, the town of Montrose serves as a local hub, situated at a junction where the Missouri Pacific railroad line intersects with regional highways. The map reveals a transition toward aquaculture, with several large Fish Farm operations established in the wet soils between Wards Bayou and the Old Boeuf River. Genealogists will find several community landmarks, including Union Cem, Shady Grove Cem, and Evergreen Ch near the settlement of Boydell. The presence of numerous wells and flumes throughout the area highlights the ongoing importance of water management for the agricultural economy in this corner of southeast Arkansas.
