2017 Map of Gipsy

About this map

Gipsy and the settlement of Buchanan anchor this survey of the Ozark foothills, where the Upper Castor River snakes through a landscape defined by deep-cut valleys and ridges. Local family history is preserved in small burial grounds such as Cowan Cem, Maddox Cem, and Clubb Cem, which are scattered among the timbered slopes. The terrain is marked by distinctive topographic features like Hurricane Hollow, Lime Kiln Hollow, and Big Branch Hollow, while water bodies including Factory Pond and Cypress Slough indicate the complex drainage of the river system. A network of county roads and State Hwy Y provide the primary transit through these rugged townships, connecting isolated farms and homesteads along the border of Wayne and Bollinger counties.
