About this map

The Ozark National Forest covers much of this Yell County landscape, where steep ridges and narrow valleys define the local geography. Significant elevation changes are marked by Chickalah Mountain and the prominent North Bluff, overlooking a series of small agricultural and residential clusters. The settlement of Chickalah serves as a local hub, flanked by several legacy burial grounds including Fullton Cemetery and Chickalah Methodist Cemetery, which are vital for genealogical research in the region.

Waterways like the Gwin River and Chickalah Creek wind through the valleys, supporting small communities such as Harkey Valley and Sulphur Springs. To the northeast, the terrain rises sharply toward Mount Nebo and Sunrise Point, while the southern portion of the map transitions into flatter terrain near Ranger and South Bluff. This 2020 survey provides a modern view of these long-established settlements and the complex network of county roads that connect them.
