1947 Map of Van Buren
USGS Topo · Published 1969About this map
Van Buren sits at the heart of this post-war landscape, where industrial and agricultural life meet along the north bank of the Arkansas River. The city’s dense street grid is flanked by the Missouri Pacific and St Louis-San Francisco railroads, highlighting its role as a regional transport hub. Beyond the urban center, the map reveals a landscape heavily shaped by extractive industry and rural community life. A zinc smelter and numerous strip mines, including several marked as abandoned, illustrate the area's mineral dependence.
