1967 Map of Robert S Kerr Dam

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Robert S Kerr Reservoir dominates the landscape as it takes shape along the Arkansas River, with blue hatching indicating the extensive areas marked for submergence. This era of transformation is further evident in the roads marked Under Construction near the riverbanks. The rugged terrain of the Sans Bois Mountain range and Short Mountain rises sharply above the floodplain, sheltering older rural foundations. Settled communities like Cowlington and Star are visible alongside several family and community landmarks such as Cowlington Cem and Short Mountain Cem. The local economy of the late 1960s is represented by numerous Gas Wells, Strip Mines, and local Quarries dotting the hills. The map also records the winding paths of Sans Bois Creek and Cache Creek before they meet the rising waters of the new reservoir.
