About this map

The White River and its multiple tributaries dominate this section of Washington County, winding through a landscape of ridges and named peaks. The confluence of the West Fork White River, Middle Fork White River, and Mud Creek serves as the focal point for established communities like Elkins and Harris. These watercourses define the layout of the region's early transportation network, where routes like Old Wire Rd and E Huntsville Rd follow the natural contours of the land.

Genealogists will find a significant number of family and community burial sites scattered across the township, including Stokenbury Cem in the southeast and Oxford Bend Cem near Goshen. Significant elevation changes are marked by Robinson Mtn, Pierce Mtn, and the White River Ridge, providing a clear picture of the Ozark topography. The map also captures the eastern expansion of Fayetteville near the communities of Baldwin and Wyman.
