About this map

Vanderheiden Mountain and John Watie Mountain anchor a landscape defined by deep hollows and high ridges along the Adair Co Sequoyah Co line. The settlement of Bell serves as a small hub, featuring the Bell Sch near the waters of Little Lee Creek. The terrain is characterized by intricate drainage systems including Deer in Water Creek and Hunt Mill Hollow, reflecting the topographical complexity of the southern Ozark plateau.

Genealogists will find interest in localized landmarks like Salem Ch and the Oak Ridge Sch located in the eastern portion of the quadrangle. Significant elevation points such as Big Round Mtn, topped with a Lookout Tower, and Flanagan Mountain illustrate the prominence of these peaks in local navigation. A network of unimproved roads and a Jeep Trail trace the winding contours of White Van Mountain and Kester Mountain, showing the limited reach of major infrastructure in the early 1970s.
