1972 Map of Onia

About this map

Onia and Timbo anchor this 1970s survey of the north-central Arkansas highlands, where the Baxter Co Stone Co line divides the dense timber of the Ozark National Forest. The landscape is defined by deep drainages like Roasting Ear Creek and Mill Creek, which have shaped the settlement patterns of this isolated region. Genealogists will find a wealth of family history preserved in the numerous upland burial grounds, including Purdue Cem, Smithee Cem, and Farris Cem, often located near rural congregations such as Bethany Ch and Friendship Ch.
