About this map

Blue Eye sits directly on the border between Arkansas and Missouri, serving as a focal point for this rural landscape in Carroll County. The terrain is defined by a series of narrow valleys and winding watercourses, including Stillhouse Creek and Little Indian Creek, which have carved out distinctive landforms like Allen Hollow and Buzzard Roost Hollow. Small settlements such as Oak Grove, Maple, and Cisco are connected by a network of county roads that navigate the ridges and lowlands.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of family-named landmarks and resting places, such as Boyd Cemetery, Hale Cemetery, and Yocum Cemetery. The presence of Hostetler's Airfield and the proximity to the Mark Twain National Forest reflect the area's mix of private agricultural land and protected timberland. Prominent natural features like Pilot Knob and Blue Spring anchor the map's northern and southern reaches, illustrating the persistent geography of the Ozark plateau.
