2020 Map of Evansville

About this map

Evansville and its surrounding highlands sit along the Arkansas-Oklahoma border, where the rugged slopes of Anderson Mtn and Skylight Mtn meet the deep incisions of Evansville Cr. This 2020 topographic record shows a landscape defined by small settlements like Dutch Mills, Morrow, and Odell, many of which grew around early pioneer road networks and creek crossings. The southern portion of the map transitions into the Ozark National Forest, marking the boundary between Washington and Crawford counties. Genealogists will find a wealth of data points here, as the terrain is dotted with numerous family and community burial grounds including Bethlehem Cem, Edmiston Cem, and Goddard Cem. The distribution of these cemeteries alongside landmarks like Grapevine Ridge and Hennman Spring provides a clear view of the historical settlement patterns in this corner of the Ozarks.
