1965 Map of Alread

About this map

Alread and Rupert anchor the southern edge of this mid-1960s Ozark survey, where the border between Searcy and Van Buren counties winds through a landscape of ridges and hollows. The area is defined by a traditional settlement pattern where social life centered on small country churches and family landmarks, such as Pleasant Grove Ch and the high point at Reves Knob. Settlement follows the watercourses and ridges, with communities like Chimes and Copeland positioned near the headwaters of Archey Creek and its many tributaries, including Dollar Hollow and Rattlesnake Hollow.
