1960 Map of Gravelly

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Ouachita National Forest dominates this landscape along the border of Scott and Yell Counties, where the rugged topography of the Fourche River and La Fave River valleys defined rural life in the mid-20th century. Local communities like Gravelly, Bluffton, and Briggsville are shown during a period of established agricultural and timber activity, connected by the early alignments of state routes. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of several family and community burial grounds, including Egypt Cemetery near Blue Ball and Mt Pleasant Cemetery north of Waitreak. The map captures the social hubs of the era, such as the Fourche Valley School and churches like Mulberry Church. The terrain is characterized by named ridges and peaks such as Ganders Peak and Bogus Ridge, illustrating the isolated valleys that shaped the settlement patterns of this region.
