About this map

Knoxville serves as the primary hub in the southwestern portion of this map, situated along the Missouri Pacific railroad. The landscape is defined by the significant presence of the Dardanelle Reservoir, which impacts the southern drainages of Piney Creek. This 1962 field-checked survey reveals an area of transition, where established rural communities like Lutherville and Hickeytown sit amidst a rugged topography of named bluffs and peaks, including Jackson Bluff and Round Mountain.

Family history is deeply etched into the land through numerous small burial grounds and rural houses of worship, such as Maddin Chapel and the Mt Carmel Ch. Local industry is evidenced by the presence of a Strip Mine and scattered Gas Wells, indicating the extraction of natural resources. The map also traces the boundary between Johnson and Pope counties as it traverses the forested heights of Hickey Mountain.
