About this map

Buffalo River headwaters and the deep valleys of the Ozark National Forest dominate this landscape during the late 1960s. The settlement at Boxley serves as a focal point along the river, where the Walnut Grove Ch and Walnut Grove Cem stand as markers of the local community. The terrain is defined by a dense network of hollows, including Harve Lewis Hollow and Cook Hollow, which drain from the high ridges of Boston Mountain and Reeves Mountain.

High-elevation landmarks like Cave Mountain Cave and the Cave Mountain Ch illustrate the high-relief geography of the Newton and Madison County border. Transportation is limited to winding routes like Highway 74, connecting isolated pockets such as Mossville and Ryker. Local industry and conservation are represented by the Fish Hatchery near the northern edge of the survey, highlighting the area's transition into a protected wilderness corridor.
