2021 Map of Garwood

About this map

Garwood sits at the junction of several county roads, serving as a focal point in a landscape defined by an intricate network of hollows and ridges along the Reynolds Co Carter Co line. The terrain is deeply incised by the drainage systems of Webb Creek and Carter Creek, which feed into local landmarks like Miller Lake. This 2021 survey reveals a high concentration of family and community burial sites, such as Smith Cem, Odell Cem, and Brame Cem, often situated near the heads of valleys or along elevated stretches like Latty Valley Ridge. The distribution of these cemeteries alongside features like Pine Valley and Buchanan Valley illustrates the long-standing settlement patterns in this part of the Ozarks, where habitation followed the narrow fertile corridors of Mutton Hollow and Aldrich Valley.
