About this map

Blue Mountain and the surrounding Logan County landscape are dominated by the significant elevations of the Ozark interior. The map focuses on the high ridges and deep hollows of the Ozark National Forest, where the terrain climbs toward the peaks of Magazine Mtn. This area includes Signal Hill, the highest point in the state, and the prominent Cameron Bluff which overlooks the river valley to the south.

Settlement patterns follow the lower elevations and creek drainages, with the small community of Corley and several family-named burial grounds like Shaw Cem and Jenkins Cem providing vital links for genealogists. Water sources are abundant throughout the forest, including Cove Lake and numerous named springs such as Jug Spring and Slocum Spring. The Magazine Lookout Tower stands as a focal point for forest management and observation atop the mountain massif.
