1964 Map of Oglesville

About this map

The Black River meanders across this mid-1960s landscape, defining the topography of the border between Missouri and Arkansas. The settlement of Qulin sits at a transportation nexus in the northeast, while the smaller communities of Oglesville and Carola occupy higher ground near the river's winding course. The lowlands are marked by numerous sloughs and ridges, such as Menorkenut Ridge and Menorkenut Slough, reflecting the complex hydrology of the region before modern drainage patterns were fully established. Rural life is anchored by institutions like Black River Ch and Calvary Ch, along with local burial grounds including Kelly Cem and Carola Cem. In the southeast, the small town of Fagus lies near Fish Trap Slough, just north of the Missouri Arkansas line, where an Old Railroad Grade hints at the area's former timber or transit infrastructure.
