About this map

Delaney and Patrick anchor this portion of the Boston Mountains, where the upper reaches of the White River and the Middle Fork White River carve deep into the Ozark Plateau. The terrain is defined by a dense network of ridges and hollows, including Skinner Hollow and Stringum Hollow, which dictate the paths of early county roads like Co RD 118 and State HWY 295. This landscape preserves the footprints of isolated rural life, from the scattered settlement at Brannon to the upland communities of Health and Mountain Crest.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of family-named landmarks and rural burial grounds. The map documents the Patrick Cem, Stringum Cem, and Temple Hill Cem, providing a precise geographic context for ancestral research in this rugged corner of the Ozark National Forest. The transition from the northern river valleys to the southern drainage of Frog Bayou illustrates the natural divide between the Washington, Madison, and Crawford county lines.
