About this map

Arden and the surrounding Ozark plateau terrain are defined by a network of deep hollows and creek systems in this 2015 study. The landscape is dotted with family and community burial grounds, such as Stillings Cemetery and Lakey Cemetery, which offer valuable coordinates for genealogical research in Douglas County. These sites are often positioned on the higher ground above drainage basins like Little Beaver Cr and Punching Cr.

Small settlements such as Goodhope, Roy, and Merritt serve as local hubs along a grid of county routes. Notable landmarks like Jackson Mill in Jackson Mill Hollow suggest the historical importance of water-powered industry in these valleys. The topography is further marked by distinctive peaks and depressions, including Keyger Mtn and Boiling Spring Hollow, reflecting a region where the rugged relief has long dictated the placement of roads and homesteads.
