1973 Map of Watalula

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Watalula and the surrounding Arkansas hillsides reflect a mix of timber, gas extraction, and small-scale agriculture in the early 1970s. The landscape is defined by the Ozark National Forest and the winding Mulberry River to the north, while the southern portion of the sheet shows the expansion of Ozark near the Ozark City Lake. Several family-named landmarks provide significant value for genealogists, including McNally Cem, Rogers Cem, and Handchew Cem. An intriguing industrial footprint is visible at the Charcoal Ovens near Enon Ch, while the local economy is further evidenced by a dense Gas Field and numerous Gas Wells peppered throughout the hollows. Evidence of historical transportation remains via the Old Railroad Grade running parallel to the southern boundary, documenting the changing transit patterns of Franklin County before modern highway shifts.
