About this map

Jerusalem and Appleton anchor this 1962 landscape in north-central Arkansas, situated along a complex network of creeks where the boundaries of Pope, Van Buren, and Conway Counties meet. The rugged topography of the Ozark National Forest dominates the northern half, characterized by high points like Evans Mountain and Kincannon Mountain. The presence of the Jerusalem Gas Field in the southern sector highlights the mid-century energy development that helped shape the local economy.

Local family history is preserved through a high density of rural burial grounds and places of worship, including Thompson Chapel, Mt Zion Ch, and the Rocky Valley Cem. Natural landmarks like Gobblers Point and the winding West Fork Point Remove Creek define the drainage patterns of the region. Small clusters of habitation, such as Stumptoe, appear alongside established country schools and churches, offering a clear view of the area's rural social structure before modern expansion.
