1973 Map of West Fork

About this map

The West Fork White River carves a central path through this Ozark landscape, serving as a corridor for both the Burlington Northern railroad and the primary settlements of Greenland and West Fork. This 1973 survey, later updated with early 1980s data, illustrates a rural Arkansas community where upland ridges like Miller Mountain and Bloyd Mountain overlook a network of valley farms and homesteads. Local history is deeply etched into the map through numerous country churches and burial grounds, including Union Star, Friendship Ch, and the Woolsey Cem near the small community of Woolsey. A large Quarry and a network of creeks such as Dye Creek and Hogeye Creek define the local industry and drainage. The map provides a detailed view of the transition from valley bottomlands to the steep relief of the surrounding mountains just before significant modern expansion altered the character of the region.
