About this map

Ozark National Forest lands dominate the northern landscape of this region, where high points like Huckleberry Mtn and Carter Mtn overlook the transitional terrain between the mountains and the river valley. The map documents a scattered rural settlement pattern anchored by small communities such as Gum Tree, Stafford, and Hickory Grove. Local history is deeply etched into the land through numerous family burial sites, including the Sides Family Cem and Smith Family Cem, alongside the Harkey's Valley Cem in the east.

Water plays a central role in the area's geography, with Chickalah Creek and Spring Creek winding through the valleys. The presence of Spring Lake and the Cedar Creek Ranch Airport in the south highlights the mix of recreational and private infrastructure that characterizes the modern era of Yell and Logan counties. From the heights of Buzzards Rock to the lowlands of Harkey Valley, this survey provides a contemporary record of land use and property boundaries.
