About this map

Mountain Home serves as the regional hub in this 2017 survey, where suburban expansion meets the varied topography of Baxter County. The landscape is defined by the significant presence of Norfork Lake to the east and the high points of Heart Bald and Birdsong Mtn further south. This edition reveals a mix of established community centers and rural homesteads, with the residential pockets of Briarcliff and Salesville situated among a network of creeks like Panther Fork and Vickory Cr.

For family historians, the map is particularly valuable for its precise locations of several burial grounds, including the East Oakland Cem, Old Oakland Cem, and Oak Grove Cem. These sites, along with Heart Cem and Douglas Cem, indicate the deep roots of early settlers in this pocket of the Ozark foothills, preserved even as the modern road network of US Route 62 and local county roads has matured.
