2011 Map of Chickalah Mountain East

About this map

The community of Chickalah serves as a central point in this Yell County landscape, situated where the Little Chickalah Creek meets the broader valley floor. To the northeast, the dramatic rise of Mount Nebo provides a prominent landmark, featuring distinct lookout points at Sunrise Point and Sunset Point. This area is characterized by several small rural settlements like Harkey Valley and Sulphur Springs, connected by an intricate network of county roads that navigate between ridges such as Mc Cray Ridge and Christian Ridge. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of local burial sites, including the Chickalah Methodist Cemetery, Fullton Cemetery, and the Mountain Spring Cemetery located near Rock Creek. The drainage patterns of the Gwin River and various branches like Jordan Branch and Carter Branch illustrate the hydrological backbone of this region, which remains largely rural and focused on small-town centers and crossroads like Mosley.
