1963 Map of Harriet

About this map

Morning Star and Harriet anchor this early 1960s survey of the Ozark hills in Searcy County. The landscape is defined by deep drainage patterns where names like Big Creek, Bear Creek, and Rock Creek carve through the limestone terrain. Human presence is deeply rooted in these hollows, marked by a high density of rural religious and family landmarks. Small community centers such as Lone Pine and Baker appear alongside numerous country houses of worship, including Martin Box Chapel and Barren Hollow Ch. The mapping of fine red dashed lines indicates selected fence and field boundaries, providing a rare look at the mid-century agricultural footprint. Notable topographic features such as the Devils Backbone and Stephenson Mountain overlook a network of cemeteries—including Cypert Cem, Red Hill Cem, and East Lawn Cem—that serve as vital records for regional genealogists and local historians.
