1966 Map of Cozahome

About this map

The Buffalo River snakes in sharp, dramatic oxbows through the Ozark landscape, defining much of the topography along the border of Marion Co and Searcy Co. This mid-1960s survey captures the area during the operation of the Buffalo River State Park, showing the river's winding course through deep hollows like Hogskin Hollow and Peter Hollow. Small mountain communities and family landmarks are scattered throughout the wooded terrain, including the settlement of Cozahome and the Maumee area. Local genealogy is well-preserved through several established burial grounds and congregations, such as De Soto Cem and the Pine Grove Ch. The landscape is etched with countless prongs and creeks, including Big Creek and Panther Creek, which feed into the primary river system. Unique geographical features like Caney Cave and a Gaging Station on the Buffalo further characterize this rural Arkansas district.
