About this map

Cave City serves as the central hub of this northern Arkansas landscape, straddling the border of Sharp Co and Independence Co. The town is characterized by its orderly residential streets such as Woodland St and School Rd, and several community landmarks including the Cave City Cem. North of the main settlement, the terrain is marked by distinctive elevations like Willmuth Hill and the uniquely named Goat Den, while the community of Maxville sits further north along the Highway 167 corridor.

Genealogists and local historians can trace numerous rural burial grounds scattered through the hills, from Palestine Cem in the west to Mount Tabor Cem in the east. The drainage of the land is defined by winding creeks like Curia Cr and Jackson Cr, which feed into the smaller ponds and basins of the region. In the southern portion of the map, the smaller community of Hickory Valley and its namesake Hickory Valley Cem represent the quiet, agrarian character of the Ozark foothills during this era.
