2017 Map of Mountainburg

About this map

The Boston Mountains define the high-relief landscape of this Crawford County region, where the town of Mountainburg sits along the southern edge of the Ozark National Forest. The topography is shaped by deeply incised drainages like Frog Bayou, which feeds into the prominent Lake Fort Smith in the east. This 2017 survey details the transit corridor that follows these natural valleys, including the path of the railroad and Interstate 49 as they wind north through the small settlements of Chester and Schaberg. Local history is anchored by several rural burial grounds, including Basham Memorial Cem and Hillcrest Cem, while landmarks such as Artist Point and Cartwright Mtn provide significant vertical markers in the heavily forested terrain.
