About this map

The Mulberry River winds along the eastern edge of Crawford County, marking a transitional landscape where the Ozark National Forest meets the growing settlements of the Arkansas River valley. The community of Mulberry serves as the local hub, anchored by Kirksey Park and surrounded by a network of rural crossroads like Pleasant Hill and Piney. This era shows a landscape deeply connected to its local heritage, evidenced by the numerous family-named landmarks and country congregations such as Brooks Chapel and Center Point Ch.

Water management and agriculture define the land use, centered on the T J House Reservoir and the many creeks feeding the river, including Little Mulberry Creek and Sycamore Creek. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of small burial grounds like Quesenbury Cem, Marvin Cem, and Chastain Cem, which alongside the Marvin Sch highlight the historical footprint of earlier settlers before the modern corporate boundaries expanded.
