About this map

The Spring River carves a winding path through this corner of the Ozark foothills, dictating the development of riverside communities like Hardy and Ozark Acres. The landscape is a complex network of ridges and drainages, where named hollows like Stapps Hollow and Strawberry Hollow converge toward the river valley. The map reveals the modern residential layouts of Woodland Hills and Hidden Valley south of the river, contrasting with the more dispersed rural settlements at Baker and Sellers Store.

Genealogists can identify several historic burial sites, including Richardson Cem, Walker Cem, and Hall Cem, which are tucked away near local landmarks like Biggers Hill and Goat Ridge. The transition from the more developed corridor along Bus 63 to the quieter reaches of Forty Island Cr and Little Flat Cr illustrates the varying pace of growth in Sharp and Fulton counties during the early twenty-first century.
