About this map

The White River carves a deep path through this Ozark landscape, anchoring the settlement of Guion and the river-frontage at Jones Bottom. The terrain is defined by a dense network of hollows and ridges, where family names are etched into the geography at places like Arnold Hollow, Sam Lee Hollow, and Pruitt Hollow. Evidence of early industrial exploration is visible through several mineral prospects, including the G F Fults Prospect and AT Foster Prospect, scattered near the river valley.

Genealogists will find a significant record of local families preserved in the numerous upland burial grounds, such as McCormick Cemetery, Pratt Cemetery, and Jones Bottom Cemetery. Transportation follows the natural contours of the land, with County RD 11 and County RD 48 winding between Cypert Mountain and Fort Mountain. The map also captures smaller communities like Nasco and Myersville, alongside the distinctive Pruitt Island in the river's bend.
