About this map

The Fulton County Courthouse anchors the county seat of Salem, positioned near the northern edge of this Ozark foothills landscape. This modern survey reflects the rural character of northern Arkansas, where the South Fork Spring River and its tributaries, such as Town Cr and Moore Br, carve through the terrain. The presence of the Salem Airport and a detailed network of county roads, including Wheeling Rd and Morriston Rd, highlights the area's continued role as a regional hub for transportation and administration.

Local landmarks such as Wheeler Spring and McCullough Lake suggest the importance of natural water sources in this environment. The map also records small communities like Wheeling, Fairview, and Morriston, providing a precise record of late-twentieth-century residential patterns. Near the southern border, the boundary between Fulton Co and Izard Co is marked just north of Horseshoe Bend, documenting the political geography of the region.
