1974 Map of Snowball SW

About this map

Moore and the surrounding drainage of the Boston Mountains characterize this mid-1970s aerial perspective. Unlike traditional topographic maps, this orthophotoquad uses photography from 1974 to show the precise distribution of forest cover and small agricultural clearings. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Richland Creek, which cuts through the terrain along the eastern portion of the sheet. The presence of Falls Creek and the small cluster of buildings at Moore reveal the isolated nature of the settlements in this part of Searcy County, where roads and structures are constrained by the winding waterways and steep slopes.
