About this map

Landis sits at the heart of this Searcy County landscape, where the ridges of the Ozark Mountains are carved by a dense network of hollows and creeks. The terrain is defined by prominent elevations such as Buzzard Roost Mtn and Lee Mtn, with the northern edge of the Ozark National Forest and Murry Treat Hollow marking the upland woods. A series of family-named cemeteries, including Landis Cem, Passmore Cem, and Scribner Cem, are scattered across the quadrangle, serving as essential landmarks for genealogists tracing the rural heritage of northern Arkansas.

Settlement patterns follow the high ground and creek valleys, connecting small communities like Thola, Fairview, and the larger village of Big Flat. The local economy is reflected in the numerous county roads and state highways that navigate the complex topography, crossing water bodies like Big Creek, Cedar Creek, and Bear Creek. This survey provides a modern inventory of these longstanding rural landmarks and the rugged drainage patterns that have shaped the region's development.
