2014 Map of Mountainburg

About this map

Mountainburg and the town of Chester anchor this 2014 survey of the southern Boston Mountains, where the deep drainage of Clear Cr cuts through the high plateaus of the Ozark National Forest. The landscape is defined by its verticality, with local summits like Cartwright Mtn and Locust Mtn rising above Norman Hollow and Meadow Mtn. The map reveals a cluster of settlements and family-named landmarks along the transport corridor of US Highway 71, including Schaberg and the scenic overlook at Artist Point. Genealogists will find value in the precise locations of several burial sites, such as Basham Memorial Cem, Hillcrest Cem, and the Schaberg Cem. To the southeast, the waters of Lake Fort Smith push into the hills, fed by numerous seasonal branches like Warloop Cr and McCaslin Br.
