1879 Map of Washington

USGS Topo · Published 1879

About this map

Grapevine Mountain dominates the southern portion of this early Arkansas survey, rising above the headwaters of the Illinois Creek system. The topography, mapped during the late 1870s by the Geol. Survey of Arkansas, focuses on the rugged drainage network where the Middle Fork and East Fork of Illinois Creek converge. The presence of Longs Spr. and the winding course of Hurricane Cr. suggest a landscape defined by natural water sources and steep relief. This fragmentary map provides a rare primary record of the terrain before extensive settlement altered the drainage patterns of the Ozark foothills, offering a precise look at named water bodies like Mill Cr. and the distinctive ridge of Fall-off Mountain.
