About this map

Lone Elm and Cravens sit at the center of this rural Franklin County landscape, where the northern reaches of the map transition into the Ozark National Forest. The Mulberry River winds through the northeast corner, punctuated by historic river crossings like Ham Ford and Kings Ford. This area is characterized by a mix of upland forest and a network of secondary roads, such as Wire Rd and Early Branch Rd, which connect small communities like White Rock and Jethro.

The local economy and family history are tied to the land, evidenced by the White Oak Gas Field and several scattered burial grounds. Genealogists will find numerous family-named landmarks, including Bourland Cem, Threadgill Cem, and Whitson Cem. Topographic features like Boyd Mtn and Fisher Mtn define the southern horizon, while the terrain is deeply incised by drainages such as White Oak Creek and Possum Trot Cr.
