1935 Map of Varner

USGS Topo · Published 1947

About this map

Arkansas River meanders define the social and agricultural landscape of this delta region, where large-scale operations like State Penal Farm No 5 and State Penal Farm No 1 occupy the fertile bends. The presence of the State Pen Cotton Gin near Cummins underscores the industrial-agricultural economy of the mid-1930s. This survey captures a dense network of spiritual and educational centers vital to rural genealogy, including the Antioch Ch & Sch and Pleasant Grove Ch & Cem. The influence of transportation is evident in the Memphis Vicksburg and Missouri Pacific railroad lines that connect settlements such as Grady and Reydel to larger markets. Complex waterways like Bayou Meto and Swan Lake crisscross the territory, illustrating the hydrological challenges of a region where flood control was a primary concern for the War Department and Corps of Engineers.
