About this map

Eureka Springs anchor this Carroll County landscape, where the sharp relief of the Ozark plateau meets significant landmarks of faith and geology. The map details the steep topography surrounding Mount Oberammergau, home to the massive Christ of the Ozarks statue and the nearby Magnetic Spring. Just north of the city, the winding Kings River and Osage Creek carve deep valleys through the limestone, revealing sites like Onyx Cave and the prominent Pivot Rock.

Transportation patterns are defined by the Old Railroad Grade, which snakes through the hills past Livingston and Gaskins Switch. In the northern reaches, the border between Arkansas and Missouri intersects the Mark Twain National Forest and the southern edge of Table Rock Lake. Small community hubs like Grandview and Oak Hill are documented alongside their local burial grounds, including Rock Springs Ch and the Eureka Springs Cemetery, providing essential data for regional genealogy.
