About this map

Mount Pleasant serves as a primary highland settlement in this corner of the Ozark foothills, where the landscape is defined by a dense network of hollows and ridges. The terrain drops sharply toward the southwest, where the White River carves its path past Painters Bluff and the small settlement of Crocker. This region is notable for its intricate drainage system, with waterways like W Lafferty Cr and E Lafferty Cr feeding into the larger river valley, creating a rugged environment that has historically influenced the placement of homes and cemeteries.

Local history is preserved in numerous family and community burial grounds, such as No Bottom Cem and Moser Cem, often situated near vanished or isolated homesteads. The southeastern portion of the map features the community of Cushman, located near Clubhouse Spring and Blowing Cave Cr. The mapping of these features, alongside many named points like Bat Knob Hill and Pine Mtn, provides a clear view of the rural Arkansas geography and its enduring local landmarks.
