About this map

Sharp, Elijah, and Vaughn anchor this rural landscape in the Ozark highlands, where the terrain is defined by a dense network of named hollows and ridges. The topography is deeply etched by watercourses like Bridges Creek and Barren Creek, which flow through features such as Hasty Pudding Hollow and Butram Hollow. To the southwest, the waters of the North Fork River meet Norfork Lake, a significant geographical landmark for the region.

Evidence of local heritage and community structure is found in sites like the White Oak Cemetery and Fore Cemetery, along with the Barren Creek School and Fairview School. These locations, combined with landmarks such as the Tecumseh Lookout Tower, reflect a settlement pattern closely tied to the valleys and plateaus of the Missouri-Arkansas border region. The map also detailes numerous local routes like Co RD 540 and Co RD 581, providing a clear record of the area's infrastructure.
