2014 Map of Durham

About this map

The White River winds through the heart of the Arkansas Ozarks in this survey, carving a path between the steep elevations of Chicken Bristle Mtn and Pinnacle Mtn. The landscape is defined by its deep hollows and high ridges, which dictate the placement of small communities like Durham and Thompson along the river valley. The county line between Washington and Madison counties bisects the terrain, revealing how early settlement patterns and mountain roads like Ar 16 followed the natural drainage of the land.
