About this map

Ozark National Forest lands dominate the northern landscape of this quadrangle, where the terrain is defined by the high elevations of Huckleberry Mountain and Carter Mountain. A Lookout Tower stands atop the ridge, overlooking a network of deep drainage basins including Egypt Hollow and Titus Hollow. In the valleys below, small settlements such as Shady Grove, Crossroads, and Hickory Grove mark the transition to a more agricultural and industrial landscape.

Local resource extraction is evident through several Shale Pits and a Gravel Pit located near the White Creek corridor. Genealogists will find a high density of family and community burial grounds, such as Utley Cem, Sides Cem, and Stafford Cem. Recreational development is anchored by Spring Lake, featuring a dedicated Campground and Picnic Area, while spiritual life is anchored by country churches like Cedar Creek Ch and Upper Spring Creek Ch.
