2017 Map of Chickalah Mountain West

About this map

Harkey Valley and Gum Tree sit at the center of this rural landscape, which is defined by the high elevations of Huckleberry Mtn and Chickalah Mtn. The terrain is characterized by deep hollows like Egypt Hollow and Titus Hollow, while numerous watercourses including Chickalah Cr and White Cr drain the valleys. This area within the Ozark National Forest shows a scattered pattern of family heritage and early settlement, evidenced by the high density of small burial sites such as the Sides Family Cem, Smith Family Cem, and the solitary Abbott Grave. In the southern portion of the map, modern utility is represented by the Cedar Creek Ranch Airport and the village of Stafford near the Spring Lake Bridge.
