About this map

Deer and Cowell occupy the high ridges of the Boston Mountains in this modern survey of Newton County. The landscape is defined by the steep relief of the Ozark National Forest, where the topography drops sharply from summits like Henderson Mtn and Owens Mtn into deeply carved drainages such as Sandy Springs Hollow and Slusher Hollow. Transportation in this part of Arkansas follows the natural contours of the land, with the Deer Tower Trail and Taylor Ridge Rd 47 tracing the narrow spines between the watersheds of the Little Buffalo Cr and Hurricane Cr.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Deer Cem situated near the headwaters of Slusher Cr, a significant landmark for tracing family roots in this rural community. The map also documents physical landmarks such as Alum Cove Natural Bridge and named peaks like Davis Knob and Millsaps Knob, providing a clear picture of the isolated settlements and rugged geological features that characterize the southern Ozark region.
