About this map

Linden serves as the focal point of this Perry County landscape, where the street grid of the county seat meets the meandering path of the Buffalo River. The river's influence is evident in the numerous historical crossing points documented here, including Locust Ford, Cow Ford, and the descriptively named Washplace Ford. To the south, the terrain becomes more distinct with features like Sassafras Stand Ridge and Sugar Hill, while the outlying settlement of Bethel marks a junction near Bethel Bridge.

The map reveals a deep history of local industry and naming conventions through its extensive collection of named hollows. Places like Bandmill Hollow, Rise Mill Hollow, and Pound Mill Hollow hint at a past tied to timber and milling along the watercourses. Genealogists and local historians will find value in the specific road names like Whitwell Cemetery Rd and landmarks such as Camp Linden and the Mount Olive Bridge.
