1967 Map of Turner

About this map

Indian Bay and the surrounding river bottomlands define this landscape in the late 1960s, where the convergence of the White River National Wildlife Refuge and numerous bayous created a complex network of waterways and wetlands. An ancient Indian Mound near the bay suggests long-standing human occupation of these fertile terraces. The settlement pattern is scattered across the ridge land between the Big Cypress Creek and Indian Bayou, anchored by small rural centers like Turner and Cross Roads.
