2012 Map of Denver

About this map

Denver and the nearby settlement of Farewell anchor this study of the Ozark landscape where the northern reaches of Arkansas meet Missouri. The area is defined by the winding waters of Table Rock Lake, which fills the deep valleys of Long Creek and its many tributaries. This complex shoreline creates a series of prominent landmarks such as Backbone Bluff, Davis Bluff, and Raven Bluff, while the surrounding terrain is deeply etched by countless hollows. Genealogists will find particular value in the documentation of the Denver Cemetery near Callens Branch and Enon Cemetery overlooking the lake. The map details a network of county roads that navigate the ridge-and-hollow topography, connecting family-named features like Kimhowart Hill and Hurt Hollow. The drainage patterns of Yocum Creek, Cranenest Creek, and Stillhouse Creek illustrate the natural hydrography that shaped early settlement in this corner of Carroll County.
