1963 Map of Quitman

About this map

Quitman serves as the focal point of this 1963 survey, situated along the southern edge of a landscape defined by the drainage of Cadron Creek and its many tributaries. The terrain is dominated by high ridges and mountains, including Bettis Mountain, Clayton Mountain, and Pryor Mountain, which separate the various creek valleys. A notable historical marker on the map is the Treaty Boundary line crossing through the center, a reminder of early land agreements in north-central Arkansas. To the northeast, the rising waters of Greers Ferry Lake fill the Goff Ferry Cove, signaling the transformation of the upper White River basin. The settlement pattern is largely rural, tied to small communities like Pearson and Crossroads, with numerous country churches such as New Bethany Ch and Goodlow Ch providing insight into the local social fabric during the mid-20th century.
