Towns, terrain and land across Pope County
Most of the platted lots cluster in and around Russellville (the county seat) and Atkins, Dover, London, and Pottsville. Smaller places such as Appleton, Oak Grove, and Augsburg show up as clusters of lots along the roads. Organized in 1829, and named for John Pope, Pope County has a long paper trail, and early deeds may cite landmarks that no longer exist. About 64,593 people lived in Pope County in 2023, according to Census Bureau estimates, on roughly 811 square miles. Between Russellville and Atkins the map alternates between platted subdivisions and open farm or wooded tracts. Public land in or near the county, including Holla Bend National Wildlife Refuge and Ozark National Forest, changes how nearby private land sells.
