2014 Map of Sulphur Rock

About this map

The town of Sulphur Rock and the eastern outskirts of Batesville anchor this 2014 survey of Independence County. This landscape is defined by the transition from the rolling hills of Goforth Mountain and Davis Hill in the north to the fertile creek valleys of the south. The rural character of the region is punctuated by numerous small settlements and additions, including Moorefield, Gainsboro, and Pfeiffer. The Missouri & Northern Arkansas Railroad cuts a path through the southern half of the map, following the lowlands near Moorefield Creek and Miller Creek. For genealogists, the map is particularly detailed, identifying numerous burial sites such as Stark Cemetery, Reobeth Cemetery, and Haddock Cemetery. The prevalence of named springs like Schlieper Spring and Saint Clair Spring highlights the historic importance of reliable water sources in this part of Arkansas.
