About this map

The settlement of Mount Pleasant anchors the northeastern portion of this Arkansas landscape, characterized by a complex network of mineral extraction and family-named hollows. Prospecting sites like the Klondike Mine and McConnell Mine are scattered throughout the hills, reflecting the region's history of manganese and mineral exploration. The terrain is defined by the drainage of East Lafferty Creek and West Lafferty Creek, which carve through features such as Stillhouse Hollow and Pine Mountain before reaching the White River at the southern boundary near Crocker.

Genealogists will find significant local history preserved in the various family plots and community burial grounds, including the uniquely named No Bottom Cemetery and the Chinquapin Cemetery. The infrastructure of the area is represented by rural routes like Lafferty Rd and specialized sites such as the Spring Valley Ranch Landing Strip, illustrating the blend of traditional Ozark topography with modern utility.
