1970 Map of Evansville
USGS Topo · Published 1979About this map
Evansville sits at the base of the Boston Mountains in the southwestern corner of Washington County, just where the hills meet the Oklahoma border. In this 1970 landscape, the settlement pattern is defined by high ridges like Grapevine Ridge and Skylight Mountain that funnel roads and homesteads into narrow hollows. The map reveals a dense concentration of local heritage sites, including the Bethlehem Cem and English Cem near Morrow, alongside several country churches like Mount Pleasant Ch. The transition from the rugged slopes of the Ozark National Forest to the small farm plots around Dutch Mills illustrates a rural economy built on the timber and topography of the Ozarks. Distinctive features like the Academy Cem and New Center Point Ch provide specific markers for genealogical research in this long-settled corner of Arkansas.
