About this map

Mountain Home serves as the regional anchor on this contemporary survey of Baxter County, centered on the Baxter County Courthouse and the growing campus of Arkansas State University - Mountain Home. The landscape transitions from the urbanized streets of the county seat toward the rural west, where smaller settlements like Gassville and Whiteville maintain their distinct identities along the highway corridors. The topography is defined by the winding course of the White River along the southern boundary and local high points such as Capitol Hill and Monkey Run Hill.

Genealogical interest is high across this area, with numerous rural burial grounds preserved among the hills, including Wesley Chapel Cem, Tucker Cem, and Pilgrims Rest Cem. Older transportation routes like the Old Military Rd provide a look at the historical movement through the Ozarks, while modern infrastructure like the Baxter County Airport and Johnson Field reflect the more recent development of the plateau north of the river.
