2024 Map of Boxley

About this map

Buffalo National River corridors and the deep valleys of the Ozarks define this landscape in the western reaches of Newton County. The settlement of Boxley serves as a focal point along the Buffalo River, where the Walnut Grove Cemetery sits near the valley floor. To the south, the terrain rises toward Cave Mountain and the Ozark National Forest, including the protected expanse of the Upper Buffalo Wilderness. Local history is etched into the topography through names like Ryker and Mossville, while the Whiteley School Trail and Whiteley Cemetery suggest earlier community centers near Whiteley Creek. This survey captures the complex drainage systems of Whitaker Creek and Sweden Creek before they join the main river, highlighting the remote character of the Buffalo National River Wilderness as it appeared in the early 21st century.
