1970 Map of Strickler

About this map

Cane Hill and the rugged Boston Mountains define this section of Northwest Arkansas, captured during a 1970 field check. The landscape is deeply carved by water, with the Cove Creek and Lees Creek Valley systems providing the primary drainage for the area. The small settlement of Strickler sits at the center of the sheet, surrounded by numerous family and community cemeteries that speak to the long-standing rural heritage of the region, including Morrow Cem, Scott Cem, and Dunkard Cem. In the southeast corner, the map details the terrain of Devils Den State Park, including a designated Campground and Picnic Area. The southern portion of the map transitions into the protected lands of the Ozark National Forest, where features like Cherry Knob and Locust Creek underscore the area's wild character just north of the Washington and Crawford County line.
