About this map

The Buffalo River headwaters define this deep-cut landscape of the Ozarks during the mid-1960s. High ridges like Turner Ward Knob and Roberts Gap overlook the winding drainage of Main Prong Big Buffalo Creek, while the Buffalo Lookout Tower stands as a sentinel over the Ozark National Forest. The small settlement of Fallsville serves as a local hub near the intersection of Ark. 7, Ark. 16, and Ark. 21.

Genealogists will find numerous family-named landmarks and remote burial grounds, including Sullivan Cem, Kapark Cem, and Case Cem. The presence of Cassville Ch and a Quarry indicates the community's reliance on local timber, stone, and faith. This survey documents a transition in the region, as traditional homesteads and hollows like Hubbard Hollow and Pruitt Hollow are increasingly managed under federal forest protections.
