1972 Map of Rosedale
USGS Topo · Published 1974About this map
Rosedale sits at the nexus of river commerce and rail transport in the early 1970s, positioned between the Mississippi River and the Illinois Central Gulf railroad. The landscape is defined by the hydrologic history of the Delta, most notably the Beulah Crevasse (1912) and the sprawling Lake Beulah. This survey documents a complex system of levees, chutes, and bayous like Log Loader Chute and Knowlton Bayou, which dictated the location of landings such as Riverton Landing and Beulah Island Landing. Local genealogy is anchored by sites like Amos Tabernacle Cem and the Pleasant Green Ch. The map also captures the confluence of the Arkansas River and the Mississippi, highlighting the shifting boundaries and massive landforms like Big Island and Beulah Island that shaped the region's agricultural and social layout.
