About this map

Landis and the surrounding Ozark Highlands are documented here as they appeared in the early 1970s, characterized by isolated family settlements and mountain-top cemeteries. The terrain is deeply carved by water, with Turkey Creek and Big Creek flowing through complex hollows like Wildcat Hollow and Young Hollow. Genealogical interest is particularly high on this sheet, which records several family-named burial grounds including Landis Cem, Passmore Cem, and Scribner Cem.

Community life centers on rural institutions such as Bluff Springs Ch and Round Mountain Ch, while larger geographical features like Blue Mountain and Buzzard Roost Mountain define the southern horizon. A single Quarry near North Cedar Creek suggests the small-scale industrial activity present within the Ozark National Forest. The map also traces the county lines where Searcy and Stone Counties meet near the settlement of Thola.
