About this map

Caulfield and the surrounding Howell County highlands are defined by an intricate network of karst hydrology and narrow hollows. The landscape is dotted with numerous named water sources, from Rattlesnake Spring and Spark Spring in the west to McDaniel Spring and Vaughn Spring in the northeast. These springs feed into drainage systems like Bennetts Bayou and Mirey Fork, which carve through the Central Plateau terrain.

Settlement patterns in this part of the Ozarks are evidenced by the distribution of small community centers like Egypt Grove, Ardytta, and Leota. Local family history is well-preserved through several landmarks, including the Youngblood Cemetery and the Bly Post Office. Educational sites such as Big Spring School and Prairie Grove School highlight the historical rural infrastructure of the area, while the Campbell Ranch Airport represents a more modern addition to the local landscape.
