About this map

Doniphan serves as the focal point for this survey of southern Ripley County, where the Current River carves a winding path through the landscape. The river, a dominant geographical feature, contains notable landmarks such as Big Island and is flanked by a network of tributaries including Hurricane Creek and Dudley Creek. This area of the Ozarks includes portions of the Mark Twain National Forest and is characterized by a mix of established residential streets like Cherry Street and Walnut Street and rural crossroads such as Pratt and Lede.

Genealogists will find a wealth of site-specific data through the numerous family-named landmarks and resting places scattered across the quadrangle. Distinctive features like Gartman Rock and Pine Hill Hollow highlight the local topography, while multiple cemeteries, including Hancock Cemetery and Pope Chapel Cemetery, provide clear markers of the region's long-standing community foundations. The map's detail extends to the complex system of rural roads and bridges that connect the smaller settlements of Owenmont to the primary hub at Doniphan.
