About this map

Lindsley Prairie anchors the northern reaches of this landscape, where the agricultural plains of western Benton County meet the rising timber of the Boston Mountains. The Illinois River winds through the southern half of the quadrangle, joined by tributaries like Osage Creek and Chambers Spring Branch. This modern survey illustrates the conservation footprint of the region, specifically the Logan Cave National Wildlife Refuge and a section of the Ozark National Forest near Pedro. Genealogists will find a high density of rural burial grounds, including Lone Elm Cem, Fairmount Cem, and Martin Cem. The transition from the developed outskirts of Siloam Springs and Gentry to the prominent heights of the Twin Mountains, featuring Upper Round Top and Lower Round Top, defines the local topography.
