2020 Map of Burnville

About this map

Greenwood and the smaller settlements of Burnville and Milltown anchor this map of eastern Sebastian County, where the terrain transitions from the alluvial valleys of Vache Grasse Creek into the significant ridges of the southern Ozarks. The landscape is defined by long, parallel elevations like Devils Backbone Ridge and the Washburn Mountains, which dictate the placement of early travel routes and modern roads alike. Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across the landscape, including Liberty Cem, Stone Cem, and the Dawson Memorial Cem near the Milltown Bridge. Water resources such as Greenwood Lake and numerous branches like Vineyard Br and Dickson Br have historically supported the agricultural and community development of this region, while the Big Creek Narrows provides a distinctive geological break in the upland terrain.
