2020 Map of Japton

About this map

Japton and the surrounding rural reaches of Madison County appear in this 1980s survey as a region defined by its complex topography and dispersed settlements. Local history is etched into the land through sites like Duncan Cem, Parker Cem, and Grose Cem, which serve as vital markers for genealogical research. The terrain is characterized by numerous peaks and hollows, including Faulkner Mtn, Potato Knob, and Ridley Hollow. Watercourses such as Drakes Cr and Lollars Cr wind through the valleys, illustrating the natural drainage patterns of the area. The presence of the Lollars Creek Farm Airport near Asher suggests the importance of light aviation for this rural community. Researchers can also trace the boundaries of Township 15 North, Range 27 West (t15n r27w), providing a clear framework for land ownership and historical property records in this portion of the Arkansas Ozarks.
