1968 Map of Stuttgart South

About this map

Stuttgart anchors the northern edge of this Arkansas landscape, where the St Louis Southwestern railroad cuts a diagonal line through the surrounding agricultural plains. The 1968 topography reflects a highly engineered water management system, critical for the region's rice and soybean cultivation, featuring extensive Reservoirs, the Stuttgart King Bayou Ditch, and the winding course of Bayou Meto to the west. Local history is deeply etched into the rural sections through landmarks like Holy Rosary Cem, Lone Tree Cemetery, and St Johns Sch. In the southern half, smaller community hubs like Goldman and Townhall appear alongside named land tracts such as Morris and Garland. The map documents a moment of industrial transition, showing a dense network of flumes and irrigation wells alongside municipal features like Cain Park and various radio towers.
