About this map

Heber Springs sits at the northern edge of this survey, bordered by the rising waters of Greers Ferry Lake and the rugged topography of Round Mountain. The map illustrates a transitional period for Cleburne County, showing the extensive shoreline of the lake at its normal pool elevation of 461 feet alongside remnants of earlier industrial infrastructure like the Sulphur Railroad. Rural life is anchored by numerous country churches and burial grounds, including Mt Olive Ch, Friendship Ch, and the Palestine Cem.

Natural landmarks like Bridal Veil Falls and Stacy Springs dot the landscape, which is drained by a dense network of waterways including Cadron Creek and Cunningham Creek. The southern half of the sheet remains largely agricultural and forested, with scattered settlements such as Hopewell and Wallace connected by a web of unimproved roads and an old grade trace. This record preserves the location of vanished landmarks like the Drive-in Theater and the local Fairground near the town center.
