2012 Map of Edgehill

About this map

Middle Fork Black River anchors this drainage basin in Reynolds County, where the Ozark landscape is defined by its series of family-named cemeteries and narrow hollows. The small settlements of Edgehill and Black serve as the primary hubs for a network of rural roads, including the Karkaghne Scenic Dr. The area's genealogy is preserved through numerous burial grounds such as Goggins Cemetery, Troutman Cemetery, and Carty Cemetery, which are scattered among the ridges and valleys. Prominent terrain features like Goggins Mountain and Goggins Hollow reflect the early settling families of this region. The water system is intricate, with numerous tributaries like Little Brushy Creek and Stroher Creek feeding into the river, illustrating the historical reliance on these waterways for both boundary marking and early mountain homesteading.
