1951 Map of Winthrop

About this map

The Kansas City Southern railroad dictates the settlement pattern of this southwest Arkansas landscape, cutting a diagonal path across the Little River and Sevier County boundary. The town of Winthrop serves as a primary hub along the line, positioned just south of the winding Little River and the mouth of Hurricane Creek. To the east, the terrain becomes increasingly complex with oxbows and marshy features like Red Lake and Boggy Slough, indicating a low-lying riparian environment subject to the river's historical shifts.
