2011 Map of Formosa

About this map

Woolverton Mountain serves as a prominent geographic anchor in this section of Van Buren County, surrounded by rural settlements that define the local landscape. Small communities such as Formosa, Claude, and Austin are connected by a network of winding roads, including Woolverton Mountain Rd and Austin Rd. The hydrology of the area is shaped by the East Fork Point Remove Creek, where the East Fork Point Remove Site One Dam and its secondary counterpart manage the drainage system near the center of the sheet. For those researching local lineages, the map identifies essential sites like the Woolverton Mountain Cemetery, Halbrooks Cemetery, and Pleasant Hill Cemetery. These locations, alongside the dispersed hamlets of Pleasant Hill and Pleasant Grove, reflect a traditional Ozark plateau settlement pattern where life follows the paths of Hogans Creek and Sunnyside Creek.
