2017 Map of Doniphan North

About this map

Doniphan serves as the focal point for this Ripley County survey, situated where the Current River meets the local roadway network near the Arkansas border. The landscape is defined by the eastern edges of the Mark Twain National Forest, with terrain rising toward Cedar Bluff and Hill Top. Water drainage follows a complex system of creeks, including Logan Creek and the South Prong Little Black River, which carve through the Ozark foothills. For those researching local family history, the map provides precise locations for several rural burial sites, such as Saint Benedict Cemetery and the McGee-Payne Cemetery. The transition from the river valley to the upland forest is marked by scattered settlements like Pine Bluff and Steeles, connected by a web of county roads and state highways that evolved from earlier regional trails.
