About this map

Garfield and the neighboring community of Gateway serve as the primary hubs for this region of the Ozarks where the Missouri and Arkansas border meets. The landscape is defined by the convoluted shoreline of Beaver Lake, which creates numerous peninsulas and sheltered coves like Fishtrap Hollow and Hoot Owl Hollow. Along the western edge of the lake, newer developments such as Lost Bridge Village and Vista Shores sit perched above the water, while the interior is marked by many family-named peaks including Williams Mtn, Henry Mtn, and Glasscock Mtn.

Genealogists and local historians will find several well-documented burial sites such as Walnut Hill Cem and Clantonville Cem. The northwest corner of the map contains a portion of Pea Ridge National Military Park, marking the site of one of the most significant Civil War battles west of the Mississippi River. The varied terrain also includes curious landmarks like Devils Eyebrow and stretches into the Mark Twain National Forest across the state line.
