About this map

Batesville and the surrounding Independence County landscape are defined by a mix of educational institutions and rural creek valleys in this 2017 study. The Univ of Arkansas Community Coll - Batesville serves as a prominent landmark on the western edge, while the Missouri & Northern Arkansas RR corridor links the settlements of Pfeiffer, Moorefield, and Sulphur Rock. The terrain transitions from the heights of Goforth Mtn and Adler Hill in the north down toward the drainage basins of Pfeiffer Cr and Moorefield Cr.

Genealogists will find a high concentration of small family and community burial grounds, including Weaver's Cem, Haddock Cem, and Havison Cem. The map also identifies several distinct springs, such as Saint Clair Spring and Schlieper Spring, which historically dictated settlement patterns in the hollows. From the small hub of Gainsboro to the waters of Goforth Reservoir, the sheet provides a clear view of the modern infrastructure overlaid on a classic Ozark foothills road network.
