About this map

The North Fork River carves a deep path through this portion of the Ozarks, defining a landscape of springs and hollows. The river's course is punctuated by landmarks like the Falls and Duncan Ford, highlighting the importance of river crossings and water resources in the local economy. On the high ground above the river, Bond Ridge and Collins Ridge provide prominent vantage points.

Community life centers around rural hubs such as Birdtown, Cross Roads, and the settlement of Smith. For those researching family history, numerous burial sites are documented across the terrain, including Parson Cem, Woods Cem, and Marshall Cem. Religious and social gatherings appear concentrated at Bond Ridge Ch, Odom Ch, and New Liberty Ch. The eastern half of the map is dominated by the protected lands of the Mark Twain National Forest, including the designated Wilderness area near the Devils Backbone.
