1965 Map of Walnut Ridge
USGS Topo · Published 1966About this map
Walnut Ridge and Hoxie serve as the primary rail and commercial hubs in this mid-1960s study, where the ST Louis San Francisco and Missouri Pacific lines converge. The landscape is defined by a dense network of drainage features and sloughs, including White Oak Slough, Lindseys Slough, and Marrow Bone Slough, reflecting a region managed for agriculture and flood control. Beyond the urban centers, rural life is marked by numerous family-named burial grounds like Whittaker Cem and Pierce Cem, alongside community anchors such as White Oak Ch and its namesake White Oak Sch. The presence of several private airfields, including the Callahan Landing Strip and Johnson Landing Strip, alongside the larger Walnut Ridge Municipal Airport, suggests a period where aviation was increasingly integrated into the local agricultural and transport economy.
