2024 Map of Boswell

About this map

The White River carves a deep, winding course through this portion of the Ozark highlands, serving as the border between Izard and Stone counties. High ridges and knobs define the landscape, where smaller settlements like Boswell and Mount Olive sit near the river banks, while Calico Rock occupies the northwestern corner. The topography is deeply incised by drainages such as Piney Creek and Mill Creek, creating a series of isolated uplands including Twin Mtn and Turkey Knob. A significant portion of the western territory is protected within the Ozark National Forest. For those researching local families, the map identifies numerous small burial grounds, including the Old Whitehouse Cem and Jeffery Cem, which are scattered throughout the hollows and ridge tops, often located near old county roads like Co RD 196 and Co RD 202.
