About this map

Fallsville and the high ridges of the Ozark National Forest define this 2014 topographic study of Newton County. The terrain is deeply incised by the headwaters of major Arkansas drainages, including the Buffalo River flowing north and the Big Piney Creek system winding south. These drainage divides create a landscape of prominent points and hollows, such as Harvey Point and Waterfall Hollow, which have historically dictated the placement of mountain roads and small upland communities.

Genealogists and local historians can trace family ties through several remote burial grounds, including Sullivan Cemetery and Cassville Cemetery. The map documents the high-elevation infrastructure of the era, from the Buffalo Lookout Tower atop a 2,300-foot ridge to the intersection of State Highway 16 and State Highway 21, which remains a vital junction for the scattered settlements of Loafer and the surrounding hollows.
