2024 Map of Formosa

About this map

Woolverton Mountain serves as a central topographical anchor in this modern survey of north-central Arkansas. The landscape is defined by the winding course of East Fork Point Remove Creek and its many tributaries, including Sheepskin Creek and Hogans Creek. The rural settlement pattern here is characterized by small, dispersed communities like Claude, Formosa, and Center Ridge, many of which developed around family-named landmarks and country churches. The presence of multiple burial grounds, such as Halbrook Cem and the Woolverton Mountain Cem, indicates a deeply rooted community structure and offers significant value for genealogical research. The boundary line between Van Buren and Conway counties bisects the quadrangle, illustrating how these high-elevation ridges dictated political and social divisions in the region. This 2024 data highlights the intersection of modern road networks with traditional settlements like Pleasant Hill and Friendship.
