2014 Map of Japton

About this map

Japton and Georgetown anchor this highland landscape in Madison County, where small settlements and family burial grounds are connected by a network of winding county roads like AR 295 Hwy. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent peaks and deep hollows, including Faulkner Mtn, Eubanks Mtn, and Ridley Hollow. Several generational landmarks are preserved here, such as Duncan Cem, Grose Cem, and Ledbetter Cem, providing valuable points of reference for genealogists. Waterways like Drakes Cr and Lollars Cr carve through the topography, influencing the placement of local homesteads and the Lollars Creek Farm Airport. This 2014 survey documents the rural character of the region, illustrating how the community at Asher and surrounding farmsteads adapted to the steep elevations of the Ozark vicinity.
