About this map

Batesville serves as the focal point of this survey, positioned where Poke Bayou meets the White River. The landscape north of the river is a network of named hills and hollows, including Nelson Ridge and Mulligan Hollow, which reflect long-standing local nomenclature. A high density of burial grounds like Old Ruddell Hill Cem, Belleview Cem, and Chinn Cem provides significant points of interest for genealogists tracing family histories in Independence County.

Industrial and agricultural patterns are evident in features such as the Big Spring Mill near Big Spring and the extensive Greenbrier Bottoms along the riverbanks. The settlement patterns are defined by junctions and small communities like Limedale Junction, Pattonville, and Cushman Junction, while the topography is punctuated by landmarks such as Bracy Mtn and Grapevine Hill. This survey captures the region's geography before more recent shifts in rural development, preserving the locations of namesake features like James Cem and Ruddell Hill.
