About this map

Clarksville anchors this Johnson County survey, appearing as a developed hub during the early 1960s. The campus of the College of the Ozarks and local schools like Michie Sch and Grace James Sch reflect the community's mid-century civic growth. To the south, the landscape is transformed by the broad reach of the Arkansas River-Dardanelle Reservoir, which dominates the southern sections.

Industry and transport define the surrounding terrain, with several Strip Mine operations and Quarries dotting the hills near Spadra Creek. The Missouri Pacific railroad connects the main town to the settlement at Lamar and passing through Pittsburg township. Researchers will find numerous family and community landmarks, including the Oakland Memorial Cemetery and the remote Tokalon settlement near the Logan County line.
