About this map

Greers Ferry Reservoir dominates the northern landscape of this Cleburne County region, representing a significant era of water management and recreation for Heber Springs. The map documents a transitional period where the Old Sulphur Railroad Grade and Sulphur Grade reflect the area's earlier transportation network, now bypassed by modern developments like the Fairground and local Radio Tower.

South of the reservoir, the terrain is defined by a series of creeks and family-named landmarks, such as Stacy Springs and Round Mountain. Genealogists will find particular value in the placement of several rural meeting points and burial grounds, including Mt Devonshire Ch, Cove-Kendall Cem, and Friendship Ch. The presence of a Quarry and a Mine near Cadron Creek provides evidence of the local extractive industries that shaped the settlement patterns of Pierce and Hopewell.
