1980 Map of Lurton

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

Ozark National Forest dominates this section of the Arkansas highlands, where the settlement of Lurton sits as a central point of human activity amidst a complex network of ridges and deep hollows. The landscape is defined by massive formations such as Hudson Mountain and the prominent Sams Throne, illustrating the isolation and resilience of high-country communities. Genealogists may find particular value in the location of Tarlton Cem near Spence Junction, situated on the plateau-like Tarlton Flats. The map reveals a drainage system where Big Creek and Tilly Creek carve through the limestone-rich terrain, creating landmarks like Sassafras Knob and Ketcherside Mtn. This late-20th-century view documents the enduring rural character of Newton County, where small family-named landmarks like Greenhaw Mountain and Daniel Mtn persist alongside established forest boundaries.
