2011 Map of Ozone

About this map

Ozone and the remote Gillian Settlement anchor this 2011 survey of the Ozark National Forest region in Johnson County. The landscape is defined by its deep hollows and narrow ridges, where small communities like Salus persisted alongside historical landmarks such as the Devils Knob Lookout Tower. The drainage patterns of the Mulberry River and Little Piney Creek dictated the placement of early homesteads and cemeteries, including the Hignite Cemetery and Russell Cemetery. Local industry and infrastructure are represented by the Ozone Gas Field and the Ozone Post Office, while the Ozone Recreation Area and Pine Crest Camp highlight the area's transition into a destination for outdoorsmen. Genealogists will find interest in family-named landmarks like Johnson Point, Farris Springs, and Gazort Springs, which mark the rural Arkansas highlands before modern development altered these small upland outposts.
