About this map

The Strawberry River carves a winding path through this portion of Izard County, anchoring a landscape defined by small rural settlements and family burial grounds. Central to the area is Byron, situated at the crossroads of Byron RD and Greasy Creek RD, serving as a primary point of reference for the surrounding countryside. This 2011 survey documents the enduring presence of local landmarks like Liberty Cemetery and Talley Cemetery, which provide essential touchstones for researchers tracing family history in this corner of the Ozarks.

The topography is marked by numerous waterways including Greasy Creek, Rose Branch, and Markleroad Creek, which feed into the main river system. Notable upland features like Harmony Hill and human-made landmarks such as the Spiritual Development Lake and Bulls Eye Lake Dam illustrate the local intersection of terrain and development. Small communities like Shady Grove, Bexar, and Union are connected by a network of backroads, including Havenwood RD and Emiline RD, reflecting the established rural settlement patterns of the early twenty-first century.
