About this map

Sulphur Rock and the surrounding agricultural landscape of Independence County are documented here during the mid-1940s. The Missouri Pacific railroad serves as the primary industrial corridor, connecting settlements like Moorefield and Pfeiffer while passing the Pfeiffer Spur. The terrain is defined by a network of creeks, including Dota Creek and Miller Creek, which carve through ridges such as Goforth Mtn and Adler Hill.

Community life is anchored by a significant number of rural institutions, from the County Farm to numerous local schools like Reed Sch and Brewer Sch. The map reveals a dense distribution of family-named landmarks and houses of worship, such as Weaver Chapel and Liberty Ch. Genealogists will find particular value in the clearly marked burial grounds, including Haddock Cem and Sanders Cem, which highlight the established social fabric of this Arkansas river valley region.
