2014 Map of Cross Timbers

About this map

Cross Timbers serves as a central hub in this area of the Ozarks, where the border of Benton Co and Hickory Co meets. The landscape is defined by the winding drainages of Turkey Creek and Little Deer Creek, which carve through the terrain to create landmarks like Brushy Hollow. This 2014 survey documents a rural infrastructure where family and community heritage is preserved in sites such as Bethel Campground Cemetery and Guler Cemetery. Further east, the small settlement of Jordan sits near the headwaters of Starks Creek. The map also captures modern recreational developments, notably Lake Glenwood in Hidden Valley, illustrating how the region's traditional agriculture and timber-laden hillsides have integrated with newer residential footprints along roads like Mo-Aa and Sawmill Road.
