1940 Map of Princedale

USGS Topo · Published 1947

About this map

The St Francis River dictates the landscape of this delta region, winding through a complex system of bars and sloughs where Poinsett, Cross, and Crittenden counties meet. This 1940 edition reflects an era of intense hydrological management, evidenced by the expansive Steep Gut Floodway and a dense network of numbered drainage ditches like Ditch No 10. The St Louis Southwestern and Missouri Pacific railroads anchor the local economy, connecting settlements such as Cherry Valley and Parkin. Rural life is marked by numerous country schools and churches, including the Pleasant Hill School and Mt Olive Ch. Unique river features like Twist Ferry and the Lumber Yard near Turney illustrate the water-based industry and transit of the pre-war period. The map also captures several family-named landmarks such as the Yarbo Place and Love Place, providing significant value for genealogists studying this corner of Arkansas.
