About this map

Heber Springs serves as the focal point of this Cleburne County survey, situated just east of the expansive Greers Ferry Lake. The town's grid is punctuated by local infrastructure, including a Fairground, a Radio Tower, and the local Cemetery. This mid-century view documents the landscape shortly after the lake's creation, showing the transition from river-valley agriculture to a topography dominated by the reservoir.

South of the main settlement, rural life is marked by numerous country churches such as Mt Devonshire Ch and Crossroads Ch, along with the small community of Hopewell. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, notably at Round Mountain and the landmark Bridal Veil Falls. An Old Railroad Grade north of town traces a former transportation corridor through the hills, while family history is preserved at sites like Cove-Kendall Cem and Palestine Cem.
