About this map

Greers Ferry Dam dominates the southwestern corner of this landscape, holding back the waters of Greers Ferry Lake as they transition into the Little Red River. The 1973 survey details the area just below the dam, where the National Fish Hatchery and several recreation areas are established. Further inland, the map captures the rural character of Cleburne County, from the small settlements of Ida and Wilburn to the scattered country congregations at Antioch Ch and Pleasant Ridge Ch.

A notable historical line, the Treaty Boundary, cuts across the northern terrain near Dug Hill, marking a significant cartographic record of land divisions. The topography is defined by numerous hollows and ridges, such as Simmons Hollow and Richwood Mountain, while local genealogy is rooted in sites like Miller Cem and the settlement at Tumbling Shoals. Small-scale industrial activity is evident in the multiple quarries and gravel pits dotted among the creek branches.
