1951 Map of South Fort Smith

About this map

The Poteau River carves a winding path along the state border in the early 1950s, defining the landscape between Arkoma and the industrial outskirts of South Fort Smith. This survey captures the region's mid-century economic mix, from the heavy industry of the Zinc smelter and its Conveyor belt to the agricultural tracts of Paw Paw Bend. Local community life is deeply etched into the topography through a network of rural institutions, including St Scholastica Academy, the Cherry Grove Church, and numerous small schoolhouses like Peno School and Dunbar School. To the south, the terrain rises toward a series of prominent peaks including George Mountain and White Bluff Mountain, where the St Louis San Francisco railroad skirts the foothills near the settlement of Enterprise.
