About this map

Sulphur Rock and the settlement of Charlotte anchor this landscape in Independence County, where the terrain transitions toward the Ozark foothills. The area is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including Dota Cr and its tributaries like Dry Fork Dota Cr and Walnut Grove Br. This hydrology dictated the early placement of family and community landmarks, evidenced by the numerous cemeteries scattered across the township lines of t14n r5w and t13n r4w.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of burial sites such as Holcombe Cem, Rawlings Cem, and Convenience Cem. The map also traces the local aviation history via the Henley Aerodrome and highlights the importance of localized water management at Pascoe J Stafford Lake. Small agricultural hubs like Walnut Grove and Dota remain connected by a web of rural routes including Antioch Rd and Walnut Grove Rd.
