About this map

The Spring River winds through this Ozark landscape, serving as a central geographic anchor for the communities of Hardy and Highland. This 2014 survey captures a region defined by its narrow valleys and prominent ridges, such as Goat Ridge and Walker Ridge, where the boundary between Fulton and Sharp counties divides the upland terrain. The map reveals a high density of small-scale water features and recreational lakes, including Rainbow Lake, Lake Sherwood, and Vagabond Lake, which reflect the area's development as a residential and vacation destination.

Genealogists can find several local burial sites preserved on the landscape, including Richardson Cem, Walker Cem, and Pleasant Hill Cem. The infrastructure of the era is marked by the presence of Sellers Store and a network of county roads like Baker Cemetary Rd and Old CCC Rd, which trace the history of regional commerce and Civilian Conservation Corps-era development across the hollows of Wolf Hollow and Stapps Hollow.
