2017 Map of Parthenon

About this map

Parthenon and its surrounding highlands sit at the heart of this Newton County landscape, where the Little Buffalo River carves through the terrain. The map documents a rural network of county roads, including Hwy 327 and McElroy Gap Rd, that connect isolated settlements such as Red Rock and Crossroad. Genealogical researchers will find significance in several burial sites, including Union Hill Cem and Coopers Bluff Cem, which are tucked away in the hollows and mountain gaps. The southern portion of the sheet is largely defined by the protected boundaries of the Ozark National Forest, including terrain features like Farmer Cove and Meadows Park. This survey also marks unique landmarks such as Diamond Cave and Asia Point, providing a precise look at the distribution of private holdings and public lands during this period.
