1960 Map of Walkerville

About this map

The Arkansas-Louisiana state line bisects this 1960 survey, marking a border region where agricultural clearing and industrial resource extraction meet. Centered on the community of Walkerville, the landscape is defined by the drainage basins of Dorcheat Bayou and Horsehead Creek, which wind through the township divisions of Buena Vista and Mississippi. The area's mid-century economic character is visible in the numerous oil wells and named extraction sites like the Horsehead Oil Field and Red Rock Oil Field.
