1968 Map of Rover

About this map

Nimrod Lake and the winding Fourche La Fave River dominate this Yell County landscape as it appeared in the late 1960s. The water system, including Dutch Creek and Twomile Creek, dictates the location of small settlements like Rover, Wing, and Briggsville. These communities are tied together by a network of rural roads crossing landmarks such as Whitely Bridge. Significant portions of the terrain are preserved within the Ouachita National Forest, which encompasses high ground like Herring Mountain and Crawford Mountain. Genealogists will find notable burial sites documented here, including Mt Zion Cem and Hunts Chapel Cem, providing clear spatial context for local family histories near the Roadside Park and various mountain ridges.
