About this map

Berryville serves as the primary hub in this early 1970s survey, surrounded by a complex network of Ozark hollows and ridges. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Osage Creek and its many tributaries, including Mill Branch and Warden Branch. Cultural landmarks are scattered throughout the hills, from the Fairground and Waterworks north of the city to the Grange Hall near Harris Point.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the placement of rural institutions, such as Pension Mountain School and several family-named burial grounds like Briley Cemetery and Farmer Cemetery. The map also captures a vanishing era of transportation in the region, documenting numerous creek crossings such as McKennon Ford, Simmons Ford, and Littrell Ford. Geologic features like Devils Kitchen Cave and Crystal Cave are also noted alongside prominent peaks like Indigo Knob and Fort Mountain.
