About this map

Batesville and its eastern surroundings are defined by the convergence of several major drainage systems including Dota Cr and Miller Cr. This 2020 survey documents the transition from the concentrated educational and residential center of the University of Arkansas Community College - Batesville to the smaller agricultural and rail-aligned settlements of Moorefield, Pfeiffer, and Gainsboro. The landscape is notable for its numerous family and community burial sites, such as Bethel Cem, Stark Cem, and Haddock Cem, which provide essential geographic anchors for local history and genealogical study.

The northern terrain rises toward Goforth Mtn and Davis Hill, punctuated by natural springs like Goforth Spring and Schlieper Spring. This rural character is maintained even as the area around Sulphur Rock shows the established road networks connecting Independence County's outlying communities. The map effectively captures the distribution of these small crossroads and the landform features that shaped their development, from Hunt Hollow to Davidson Hollow.
