About this map

Cherokee City and the surrounding borderlands of Benton County and Delaware County appear in high detail at the edge of the Ozarks. The landscape is defined by its dendritic drainage patterns, with Spavinaw Creek and its many tributaries, including Columbia Hollow Creek and Coon Creek, carving through the plateau. Small residential clusters and family-named landmarks suggest a deep-rooted local history, with numerous burial grounds like Falling Springs Cemetery and Bozarth Cemetery situated along the winding rural roads.

Gentry sits at the southeastern corner of the survey, while the namesake Cherokee City occupies the central western section near the state line. The map highlights the transition from these established settlements to more isolated terrain like Backer Hollow and Coon Hollow. Modern infrastructure is visible through the presence of Lake Flint Creek and the localized developments of Cherokee Strip and West Point, illustrating the area's contemporary rural character.
