About this map

The Buffalo River carves through the central corridor of this Newton County landscape, anchoring a valley where the settlement of Boxley sits at the junction of several drainage systems. This early 21st-century survey illustrates a deeply dissected terrain characterized by numerous named hollows, including Harve Hollow, Lewis Hollow, and Panther Camp Hollow, which feed into major watercourses like Beech Creek and Edgeman Creek. The orientation of these hollows around high points such as Cave Mountain and Hurricane Ridge highlights the historical reliance on narrow valleys for transit and habitation.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several small communities and markers of the area's social fabric, including Mossville, Ryker, and Reeves. The Whiteley Cemetery is a significant landmark near the river, while the presence of Fowler Lake and its Fowler Lake Dam indicates 20th-century water management. Transportation is represented by a network of rural routes such as Walker Mountain Rd and various county roads that follow the winding geography of the Ozark highlands.
