About this map

Linden serves as the focal point of this 1936 survey, situated where State Highway Nos 20 and 100 and State Highway No 13 meet. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Buffalo River, which dictates the placement of numerous crossings such as Locust Ford, Cow Ford, and Sandfield Ford. The rural character of Perry County is evident in the distribution of community landmarks, including the Farmers Valley Ch and multiple educational sites like Warren Sch and Short Creek Sch.

Significant topographical features include the Sassafras Stand Ridge and Sugar Hill, which rise above the river bottomlands. For genealogists, the map preserves the exact locations of family-named sites such as Webb Cem, Whitwell Cem, and Hufstedler Cem. The presence of a Gin near Camel Cave and a Bandmill on Hurricane Creek points to the early 20th-century agricultural and timber industries that sustained these valley settlements.
