2017 Map of Moreland

About this map

Atkins serves as the primary hub in this Pope County landscape, situated along the southern edge of the survey area where Interstate 40 now cuts through the traditional terrain. The geography is defined by significant elevations like Carrion Crow Mtn and Iron Ore Mtn, which separate the river valley influences from the small upland communities of Oak Grove and Pea Ridge. The map reveals a dense network of local cemeteries, including Shiloh Cem and Oakland Cem, suggesting a long-established rural population and offering vital touchstones for family historians. Waterways such as Galla Cr and Gum Log Cr drain the slopes, while more specific landmarks like the Artesian Spring and Water Falls pinpoint unique natural features that have likely served as local markers for generations. These details provide a clear view of the settlement patterns and natural drainage systems just north of the Arkansas River valley.
