1961 Map of Greenbrier

About this map

Greenbrier and the surrounding Faulkner County countryside are defined by the winding course of the East Fork Cadron Creek and the prominent arc of Horseshoe Mountain. This 1961 survey, updated in the early 1980s, captures a transition from traditional agricultural life to recreational development, most notably visible at Beaver Fork Lake and its dedicated Picnic Point. Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks, from rural congregations at Bethlehem Ch and Mountain Grove Ch to family burial grounds like the Estep Cem. Small settlements and road junctions like Wooster, Springhill, and Pleasant Valley anchor the landscape, while the topography of Springfellor Hill and Kaney Ridge dictates the layout of local farms and secondary roads. The map also documents light industrial activity through various Shale Pits and a Quarry near the creek forks.
