About this map

Ozark National Forest covers much of this northern Arkansas landscape, where the terrain is defined by the winding paths of Big Creek and Roasting Ear Creek. The settlement of Landis serves as a local hub, accompanied by numerous family and community landmarks such as Landis Cem, Freeman Cem, and Wallace Cem. These small burial grounds and rural houses of worship, including Round Mountain Ch and Bethlehem Ch, highlight the dispersed nature of mountain communities in Searcy County during the early 1970s.

The topography transitions from the high elevations of Blue Mountain and Buzzard Roost Mountain down into deeply cut drainages like Wildcat Hollow and Young Hollow. A single Quarry near North Cedar Creek indicates local industry, while the boundaries of Stone County and Baxter County intersect with the forest lands to the east and north, illustrating the jurisdictional meeting point of these Ozark counties.
