About this map

Jerusalem sits as a central hub in this early 1960s survey, surrounded by the high ridges and steep hollows that define the borderlands of Pope, Van Buren, and Conway counties. The landscape is heavily marked by physical geography, with Ozark National Forest covering the northern half of the sheet. Notable peaks like Evans Mountain and Kincannon Mountain overlook a network of watercourses including Doyle Creek and the West Fork Point Remove Creek.

Evidence of local industry and community life is found in the Jerusalem Gas Field and several rural centers of worship and memory. Small settlements and landmarks such as Appleton and Stumptoe are linked by winding roads, while sites like Mt Zion Ch and Thompson Chapel serve as anchors for the scattered population. Genealogists will find a high density of burial grounds throughout the area, from Rocky Valley Cem in the north to Thompson Cem near Busted Mountain.
