2024 Map of Mountainburg
USGS Topo · Published 2024About this map
Ozark National Forest dominates the terrain of northern Crawford County, where the Ozark Mountains are carved by a dense network of drainages. The landscape is defined by its verticality, with high points like Meadow Mtn and Cartwright Mtn overlooking the major water catchments of Lake Fort Smith and Lake Shepherd Springs. The settlement pattern follows the contours of the land, with Mountainburg and Chester serving as primary hubs along the mountain passes. Local genealogy and history are anchored by several upland burial grounds, including Hillcrest Cem and the Basham Memorial Cem. A complex road system, featuring names like Boston Mountain RD and Rackley Mountain RD, traces the ridges and hollows that have shaped travel in this region for generations. The map also highlights the convergence of several waterways into Frog Bayou, a central hydrological feature of the area.
