About this map

Dardanelle Reservoir dominates the northern reaches of this landscape, its indefinite boundary and blue hatching indicating areas of upcoming submergence as the Arkansas River valley transformed in the early 1960s. Local life centers on the communities of Dublin, Johnson, and New Blaine, where the New Blaine Sch and St Scholastica Sch serve as community anchors. The rugged geography is defined by Prairie View Mountain and River Mountain, separated by the Shoal Creek Narrows.

Evidence of historical transit and industry is preserved in the Old Railroad Grade and numerous quarries and shale pits dotting the terrain. Rural cemeteries like Hall Cem, May Cem, and Frietsche Cem offer valuable data for genealogists. To the south, the Ozark National Forest begins, marked by landmarks such as Buzzards Rock and Sorghum Hollow, illustrating the blend of timberland and small-scale agriculture that shaped this corner of Logan County.
