2014 Map of Franklin

About this map

Horseshoe Bend and the surrounding Ozark foothills are defined by the winding course of the Strawberry River and its numerous tributaries. This rural landscape in north-central Arkansas reveals a complex history of movement and settlement, evidenced by the presence of Trail Of Tears Ln and Military Rd near the community of Franklin. The map provides significant detail for genealogists, documenting a network of family and community burial grounds including Wiseman Cem, Nebo Cem, Oak Grove Cem, and Old Liberty Cem. To the northeast, the resort character of the region is visible in the planned residential streets and recreational waters of Lake Pioneer, Bass Lake, and Lodge Lake. This detailed topographical view captures the intersection of traditional agricultural settlements like Oxford, Wiseman, and Violet Hill with later 20th-century vacation developments.
