1939 Map of Park Place

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

The L’Anguille River and the St Francis River dominate this 1930s landscape, winding through Lee County toward the Mississippi. This survey captures a rural network of tenant farms and local institutions just before significant post-war mechanization and levee expansion. The presence of the Marianna Helena Land Project near Marianna suggests a period of active land resettlement and agricultural planning. The map is exceptionally rich for genealogists, detailing dozens of small rural hubs such as Brickeys, Bledsoe, and Kokomo. Church and school pairings are prominent throughout the region, including Bethlehem Ch & Cem and Antioch Ch & Sch, which served as the primary social anchors for the surrounding hamlets. Transport is defined by the Missouri Pacific Railroad and unique river features like Whiskey Chute and Ball Point, while many family-named features like Spencer Place and Greer Place reflect established local estates.
