1989 Map of Morganton

About this map

The North Fork Cadron Creek winds through the heart of this Van Buren County landscape, defining the agricultural and settlement patterns of Greasy Valley. Small rural communities and church-centered hamlets like Morganton and Gravesville are connected by a network of backroads that navigate the area's prominent ridges, including Hunter Mountain and Pryor Mountain. A significant historical marker, the Indian Treaty Boundary, cuts across the terrain, reflecting the early political divisions of the region. Local genealogy is well-represented through numerous country churches such as Colony Ch and Mount Zion Ch, as well as the Hardin Cem. The landscape transitions from the high ground of Batesville Mtn in the south to the complex creek systems of Linn Creek and Little Creek in the north, showing a late 20th-century snapshot of traditional Arkansas uplands.
