1975 Map of Chalybeate Mtn East

About this map

Chalybeate Mountain dominates the northern landscape of this Clark County survey, with its prominent Skyline Drive ridge-top road overlooking the agricultural and timbered lowlands. To the south, Chalybeate Valley is home to the Chalybeate Valley Ch and Hill Cem, serving as a cultural hub for dispersed rural residents. The map captures a moment when traditional land use, represented by the Military Road and various family-named landmarks like the Jordan Cem, meets more modern developments such as the De Gray Lake shoreline and its Brushy Creek Access Point. Numerous stream crossings, marked as Ford at various points along Terre Noire Creek, indicate a landscape still closely tied to its natural hydrology. Small settlements like Alpine and Fendley provide focal points for researchers looking into the mid-century rural character of southwestern Arkansas.
