2020 Map of Moreland

About this map

Atkins sits at the southern edge of this landscape, where the terrain begins its ascent into the ridges of northern Pope County. The settlement patterns reflect a rural economy organized around crossroads and natural landmarks, with clusters like Oak Grove and Economy connected by a network of winding roads such as Buttermilk Rd and Saint Joe Rd. The topography is defined by significant elevations, notably Iron Ore Mtn and Carrion Crow Mtn, which overlook the winding paths of Gum Log Cr and Isabell Cr. For genealogists and local historians, the distribution of small burial grounds including Oakland Cem, Saint Joe Cem, and Haskin Cem provides a clear view of the family-centered heritage that persists across these wooded hills. The map captures the interface between the established town of Atkins and the more remote homesteads that follow the contours of the Ozark foothills.
