1942 Map of Mt Pleasant

About this map

Lafferty Creek winds through the heart of this Ozark landscape, connecting the high ridges of Pine Mtn to the southern boundary along the White River. During the early 1940s, this region of Izard County was defined by its scattered rural institutions and emerging industrial interests. The map documents numerous community centers such as the Macedonia Sch and Mt Lebanon Ch, alongside family-named sites like the Barren Fork Cem and Mosier Cem. Manganese mining activity is clearly visible near the southern border, where the Clubhouse Mine and Clubhouse Extension Mines appear near the settlement of Turner. The survey also marks the path of State Route 69 as it passes through the primary settlement of Mt Pleasant, providing a snapshot of the transportation network and topography before significant mid-century changes.
