1966 Map of Wappapello

About this map

Lake Wappapello dominates this mid-1960s landscape, its sprawling waters controlled by the Wappapello Dam on the St Francis River. The map captures a transition toward recreation and forestry, featuring several designated zones like the Walnut Cove Recreation Area and the extensive Clark National Forest. Settlement patterns are concentrated at Chaonia and Wappapello, providing a look at local infrastructure including the Davis Landing Strip and a Fish Hatchery. Local history is preserved in landmarks such as Little Brushy Ch, Chaonia Cem, and Kelly Cem. The terrain is characterized by named ridges and hollows like Lone Star Ridge and Mule Camp Hollow, while the St Francois Divide marks the southern high ground above West Prong Indian Creek.
