2011 Map of Botkinburg

About this map

Botkinburg anchors the eastern edge of this topographical survey in Van Buren County, where the Ozark landscape is defined by the winding course of Archey Creek and its many tributaries. The area is characterized by high ridges and hollows, including Chinkapin Ridge and George Main Hollow, which dictate the paths of rural roads like Peyton Creek Rd and Rocky Hill Rd. For genealogists, the map is particularly valuable for its clear marking of family and community burial grounds, such as Lunceford Cemetery, Salem Cemetery, and the Bluffton Cemetery overlooking the creek. Small-scale engineering is evident at the Jackson Lake Dam, while the terrain rises toward significant landmarks like Copper Spring Mountain and Rocky Hill in the north.
