1964 Map of Rob Roy

About this map

Arkansas River bottomlands dominate this mid-century survey, revealing a landscape defined by the intricate winding of Plum Bayou and Black Bayou through the fertile delta plains. The settlement of Rob Roy sits near the river's edge, adjacent to the St Louis Southwestern railroad line that served the local agricultural economy. The map provides significant genealogical value, documenting numerous rural congregations and resting places including St Marks Ch, St Marys Cem, and Cottonwood Ch, many of which were central to the identity of small communities like Haywood and Ellison.
