1973 Map of Sulphur City

About this map

The Middle Fork White River dictates the settlement patterns and topography of this Washington County landscape, as mapped in the early 1970s. Small rural communities like Sulphur City and London are positioned along the watercourses and valley floors, while the surrounding terrain is defined by significant elevations such as Snyder Mountain and Lingebaugh Mountain. The map reveals a high density of local landmarks significant to genealogists, including Kings Cem, Salem Cem, and the Low Gap Ch Cem. This era shows a mix of traditional agricultural life and modern infrastructure, evidenced by the large Pipeline cutting through the northern reaches near Graves. The karst topography of the Ozarks is clearly indicated by the presence of numerous subterranean features, specifically Fincher Cave, Bassett Cave, and Nickells Cave, located near the winding path of London Creek.
