1887 Map of Watalula

USGS Topo · Published 1887

About this map

Lone Elm and Cravens appear as the primary points of settlement in this 1887 topographic study of Franklin, Arkansas. As an unpublished advance sheet, the map reveals a focused look at the rural landscape before more widespread publication. The topography is defined by a series of narrow valleys and ridges, carved by waterways like Maxwell Creek and the Long Br. in the west, and the White Oak Creek and East Fork of Gar Creek toward the eastern boundary. Director J.W. Powell oversaw this rare internal document, which includes a specific note stating it was engraved for the State and intended to remain within the Topographic Branch. The map provides a distinct record of the road patterns and early homestead locations connecting these small communities during the late nineteenth century.
