About this map

Morganton and the surrounding highlands of Van Buren County are defined by a complex network of ridges and watercourses. The landscape is carved by the North Fork Cadron Creek and its many tributaries, including Linn Creek and Bee Branch. Small settlements like Sulphur Springs and Fairbanks are connected by winding routes such as State Highway 356, while family names are preserved on landmarks like Hunter Mountain, Pryor Mountain, and Odom Point.

To the south, Gravesville sits near the crossing of Cadron Creek, where the terrain shifts toward Batesville Mountain and the unique river geometry of Gooch Bend. Genealogists and local historians will find the Hardin Cemetery and older thoroughfares like Old Dug Road particularly useful for identifying 20th-century property boundaries and family homesteads near the Van Buren and Cleburne county line.
