About this map

Cleveland serves as the central hub of this Arkansas landscape, situated where the terrain begins to rise toward the peaks of the Ozark National Forest. The map reveals a deeply established rural network of family burial grounds and country congregations, including Moores Chapel, Liberty Springs Ch, and New Liberty Ch. These landmarks, alongside numerous cemeteries such as Upchurch Cem and Campground Cem, trace the generational settlement patterns of Nichols and Liberty townships.

The physical geography is defined by the winding paths of the Point Remove Creek West Fork and Point Remove Creek East Fork, which carve through a series of named elevations like Chambers Mountain and Money Mountain. A notable topographic constriction known as The Narrows highlights the complex drainage systems feeding into Sucker Creek and Canady Branch. Between these ridges, small communities like Lost Corner and Sunnyside appear connected by a web of local roads, reflecting the mid-century agricultural and timber character of the region.
