About this map

White River navigation and the rugged hills of the Ozark National Forest define this corridor of Izard and Stone counties. The river cuts a deep path through the landscape, creating distinctive features like Bone Island and the high overlooks of Boulder Mountain. Small river-bend and upland settlements, including Mount Olive, Boswell, and Optimus, remain connected by a network of winding roads such as Old Whitehouse Road and Boswell Road.

Genealogists can find numerous family and community burial grounds, including the Mt Olive Cem, Palestine Cem, and Old Whitehouse Cem. The topography is marked by several prominent peaks such as Pilot Knob and Creswell Mountain, alongside curiously named hollows like Goodwin Bridge Hollow and Shop Hollow. This map documents a region where traditional Arkansas settlements persist amidst the protected woodlands of the national forest.
