About this map

Mulberry serves as the primary hub in this corner of Crawford County, situated along the southern edge of the Ozark National Forest. The landscape is defined by the transition from the forested heights of the Boston Mountains into the Arkansas River Valley, with the Mulberry Wild and Scenic River winding through the eastern portion. The settlement pattern reveals a series of small, potentially older communities like Piney and Pleasant Hill, often anchored by family-named landmarks and local burial grounds. Genealogists will find a high density of small cemeteries scattered across the terrain, including the Bratton, Chastain, and Dougan cemeteries, which often mark the location of early homesteads. The presence of Old Wire Rd and Old Graphic Rd highlights historical transportation corridors that predated modern highway systems, providing clues to the early development of this river-valley region.
