2011 Map of Ider

About this map

Ider serves as the central hub of this DeKalb County landscape, where numerous rural intersections such as Beaty Crossroads and Skaggs Corner anchor the community. The topography is defined by the drainages of Crow Creek and Town Creek, with early industrial sites like Old Blevins Mill and Yorks Mill situated along the northern watercourses. This 2011 survey documents a network of family-named landmarks and cemeteries, including Pea Ridge Cemetery and Weldon Cemetery, which provide critical waypoints for genealogists. The southern portion of the map transitions toward the high ground at Pea Ridge Crossroads and the descent into Troxel Gap. Water management is evident near the settlement of Shrader with J R Gilberts Lake and the associated J R Gilbert Dam, illustrating the local reliance on engineered reservoirs alongside natural branches like Hogskin Creek and Sandy Ford Creek.
