1956 Map of Russellville

About this map

The Arkansas River corridor serves as the central artery for this mid-century survey, dividing the high ridges of the Boston Mountains from the southern Ouachita Mountains. At the heart of the valley sits Russellville, home to Arkansas Polytechnic College, surrounded by a network of smaller agricultural and river towns such as Morrilton, Atkins, and Dardanelle. The landscape is defined by massive federal and state preserves, including the sprawling Ozark National Forest and high-altitude landmarks like Magazine Mountain and Mount Nebo State Park.
