1947 Map of Van Buren
USGS Topo · Published 1971About this map
The Arkansas River serves as the focal point for this post-war landscape, carving a wide path through the river valley south of Van Buren. Extensive purple overprinting from 1971 updates reveals the mid-century expansion of the city's residential and commercial footprint, which surrounds the older street grid and Fairview Cemetery. Industrial activity is evident along the Missouri Pacific and St Louis-San Francisco rail lines, including a large Zinc smelter and several active and abandoned strip mines in the outlying rural districts of Van Buren township.
