1961 Map of Perryville

About this map

Perryville serves as the focal point of this 1961 survey, situated near the confluence of Cedar Creek and the Fourche La Fave River. The landscape is defined by the transition from the river bottomlands to the prominent ridge of Perry Mountain and the high point at Fourche Pinnacle. To the north, the winding Arkansas River forms the border near Riverview, while the Chicago and Pacific rail line cuts across the central flats through Perry. For family historians, the map identifies several rural landmarks including the St Elizabeth Sch and numerous burial sites such as Wolfe Cem, McGhee Cem, and Hallett Cem. The presence of the County Fairground at the edge of the county seat highlights the community's local agricultural traditions during the mid-century era.
