About this map

The White River carves a deep path through the southern portion of this landscape, marking the boundary between Izard Co and Stone Co. This river corridor serves as the primary artery for settlement and transport, with the town of Guion situated along its northern bank. The surrounding terrain is defined by a dense network of hollows and ridges, including Cypert Mtn and Wolf Den Mtn, which have historically dictated the placement of roads and small communities like Nasco and Wolquarry.

Genealogists will find several small burial grounds scattered across the upland ridges and river bottoms, such as McCormick Cem, Lyons Creek Cem, and Jones Bottom Cem. The map reveals a rural economy tied to the land, shown through the names of numerous family-named landmarks like Arnold Hollow, Pruitt Hollow, and Meeks Mtn. The transport network follows these natural features, with routes like Guion RD and Lunenburg RD connecting the isolated hollows to the river valley.
