About this map

The Buffalo River headwaters dominate this terrain within the Ozark National Forest, where steep hollows like Bowers Hollow and Hubbard Hollow carve through the Boston Mountains. Small mountain settlements and family landmarks are scattered throughout the landscape, anchored by the community of Fallsville, which serves as a central point along State Highway 16 & 21. The area's high-elevation vantages are marked by the Buffalo Lookout Tower near Roberts Gap, providing a strategic overlook for forest management in the 1960s.

Local genealogy and history are well-preserved through numerous small burial grounds, including Sullivan Cem, Case Cem, and Kapark Cem. Evidence of local industry is visible at the Quarry near Loafer, while the network of streams such as Main Prong Big Buffalo Creek and Big Piney Creek illustrates the complex drainage patterns of the Ozark plateau before modern development altered these rural corridors.
