1997 Map of Barber

About this map

Fort Chaffee Military Reservation dominates the northern landscape of this Sebastian County quadrangle, where ridges like Backbone Mountain and Pinnacle Mountain run parallel across the terrain. This late-twentieth-century survey documents a region defined by its narrow valleys and natural gaps, such as Molly Gap, which provide passage through the ridges. To the south, the waters of Booneville Lake are supported by infrastructure including an Intake and Pumping Station. The map captures the small settlements of Barber and Glendale, along with evidence of former transportation networks like the Old Railroad Grade. Genealogists will find significant value in the scattered burial grounds, including Washburn Cem, Bell Cem, and the family-named Rebecca Lewis Cemetery, reflecting the rural heritage of the borderlands between Franklin, Logan, and Sebastian counties.
