About this map

Ozark National Forest covers the northern reaches of this terrain, where the Mulberry Wild and Scenic River carves a path through Deer Creek Hollow and around Salt Spring Bend. The landscape is defined by the contrast between these steep drainage basins and the more settled agricultural and residential lands to the south. Small rural communities like Lone Elm, Cravens, and Jethro are connected by a network of county roads, with evidence of local industry appearing at Gas Well Rd.

Family history is deeply rooted in this part of Franklin County, marked by an exceptionally high density of small burial grounds. Genealogists can find numerous sites including Campbell Cem, Oak Ridge Cem, and Rankin Cem. These landmarks, along with features like Boyd Mtn and Dutchman Hollow, provide a detailed look at the geographic distribution of families and settlements across the townships of t11n r28w and t10n r27w.
