2017 Map of Jamestown

About this map

Jamestown and Locust Grove serve as key landmarks in this portion of Independence County, where the terrain transitions from the lowlands near the White River into the rising hills of the Ozark foothills. The landscape is defined by its drainages, including the prominent Greenbrier Creek and Buffalo Cr, which carve through the topography alongside numerous family-named hollows like Tivis Flynn Hollow and Ed Taylor Hollow. In the north, the Batesville Regional Airport represents modern infrastructure amidst long-standing rural settlements like Desha, Southside, and McHue. This 2017 survey provides a detailed view of local genealogy through numerous burial sites, including Palestine Cem, Locust Grove Cem, and Alderbrook Cem. The map captures the continued significance of high ground such as Jamestown Mtn, Strother Mtn, and Hutchinson Mtn, which have likely shaped local transport and settlement patterns for generations.
