About this map

Lake Eucha dominates the northern landscape of this Delaware County survey, where the Dry Creek Arm and Spavinaw Creek meet. The terrain is defined by deeply incised drainages like Teesquatnee Hollow and Coleman Hollow, which create a series of prominent bluffs including Lanes Bluff and Black Fox Bluff. These geographic features represent the intricate drainage patterns of the Ozark Plateau as it appeared in the early 1970s.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by rural landmarks such as New Green Ch and the Black Fox Cem near the southern edge. The map captures the balance between natural resource management and leisure, featuring the Lone Prairie Lookout Tower overlooking Elkhorn Prairie alongside the developed Upper Spavinaw Recreation Area. Detailed labels for Cloud Creek Cem and various small campgrounds highlight the area's role as both a local burial ground and a growing regional destination for outdoor activity.
