About this map

Evansville and Dutch Mills anchor this topographic view of the Arkansas-Oklahoma borderlands in Washington and Crawford Counties. The landscape is defined by the high ridges of Skylight Mtn and Anderson Mtn, where numerous family and community cemeteries speak to the deep-rooted settlement patterns of the Ozark foothills. Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial sites, including Bethlehem Cem, Academy Cem, and Garrett Creek Cem, often located near the winding headwaters of Evansville Creek and Fly Creek.

A network of county roads follows the natural contours of the land, connecting smaller settlements like Morrow and Skylight. The southern edge of the survey transitions into the Ozark National Forest, where the terrain drops into Low Gap Hollow and Tom Jack Hollow. The map reveals a rural economy centered on these valleys and ridges, where the Mountain Fork begins its descent southward through the Ozark plateau.
