2014 Map of Melbourne

About this map

Melbourne serves as the focal point of this Izard County landscape, situated where several creeks and ridges converge in north-central Arkansas. The map illustrates a developed local infrastructure including Ozarka Coll and a local Water Plant near the center of town. Radiating outward from this hub, small communities such as Newburg, Jumbo, and Belview are connected by a network of state roads like Ar-9. The terrain is defined by distinct landmarks such as Brushy Ridge, Byler Hill, and Hunters Mtn, which separate the various drainages of Hurricane Creek and Mill Creek. This 2014 survey reveals a high density of family and community cemeteries, including Page Cem, Jones Cem, and the Lunenburg Cem near the southern settlement of Lunenburg. These sites, along with named springs like Powell Spring, indicate a long history of rural settlement and land use maintained into the modern era.
