About this map

Mark Twain National Forest dominates this section of the Ozark Plateau along the border of Douglas and Howell Counties. The landscape is defined by its abundance of water sources, from the prominent Noblett Lake and its surrounding Noblett Lake Campground to numerous natural springs like Hellroaring Spring, Rockhouse Spring, and Galloway Spring. The topography is marked by named summits such as Dyestone Mountain, Tater Hill, and Blue Buck Knob, the latter of which serves as a vantage point for the Blue Buck Lookout Tower.

Social centers for this rural community are visible in the northern reaches, specifically at the Pine Grove Ch and Pine Grove Sch cluster. Further south, Blue Buck Ch stands near the head of Fox Hollow. The map traces a complex network of drainages including Brushy Creek and Noblett Creek, illustrating how settlement and recreation followed these valley floors through the heavily wooded terrain of Siloam Springs and Richland.
