2020 Map of Boxley

About this map

Hurricane Ridge and Cave Mtn dominate this portion of the Ozark Highlands, where the Buffalo River carves a deep valley through the limestone and sandstone landscape. This area is defined by its preservation and heritage, containing sections of the Buffalo National River and the Ozark National Forest. The settlement pattern follows the drainage of the river and its many tributaries, such as Whiteley Creek and Beech Creek. Small communities and family landmarks are scattered throughout, including Boxley and Mossville, along with local burial grounds like Walnut Grove Cemetery and Whiteley Cemetery. The map captures an extensive network of footpaths and unpaved roads, notably the Buffalo River Trail and the Whiteley School Trail, which provide access to famous landmarks like Whitaker Point and the many hollows that dissect the surrounding plateaus.
