About this map

The Middle Fork White River and the White River converge in this high-altitude section of the Ozark National Forest, where steep ridgelines and narrow hollows dictate the layout of rural life. Several small settlements, including Delaney, Patrick, and Brannon, occupy the more navigable terrain between landmarks like Stacy Mtn and Anderson Knob. The map reveals a history of family-centered landscape naming, from Skinner Hollow in the north to Van Brunt Hollow in the southeast.

Social and community landmarks are scattered across the quadrangle, notably the Patrick Cem and Temple Hill Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research in Madison County. The network of winding forest roads, such as Brannon Mt Rd and W Sunset Rd, connects these remote points of interest, illustrating how the rugged geography of the Ozarks has preserved a traditional pattern of dispersed mountain settlements well into the modern era.
