1970 Map of Prescott West

About this map

Prescott and Northwestern and Missouri Pacific railroad corridors converge in this 1970 snapshot of the Arkansas landscape. The city of Prescott serves as a central hub, featuring critical local infrastructure including the Courthouse, County Fairground, and Waterworks. The surrounding rural expanse is defined by a network of established family and community landmarks, particularly churches and burial grounds like Beards Chapel Cem and Artesian Cem. The survey reveals a terrain shaped by various watercourses such as Brushy Creek and Steel Creek, with the political boundary between Hempstead and Nevada counties cutting through the western sections. Evidence of local industry appears at the Gravel Pit near the northern edge, while the presence of the Prescott Country Club and a Lookout Tower reflect the recreational and civic life of the era.
