1940 Map of Tilton

About this map

McCrory and Patterson anchor the southern edge of this 1940 survey, a landscape defined by the drainage networks of the Cache River and Bayou De View. The region is a dense grid of rural life and agricultural engineering, marked by an extensive system of man-made waterways like Locust Ditch and Cypress Ditch. For genealogists, the map is particularly rich in family and community landmarks, including several schools like the Blacksville Sch and Pumpkin Bend Sch, alongside numerous church-cemetery sites such as Fakes Chapel Ch & Cem. The presence of the Marianna Lbr Co Abandoned railroad grade and the Missouri Pacific line through Weldon and Tupelo reveals the importance of the timber and transport industries in early twentieth-century Northeast Arkansas.
