About this map

Caney Fork and its complex network of tributaries, including Little Laurel Creek and Big Laurel Creek, carve through the plateau landscape of Van Buren County. The area's karst topography is evident in features like Big Sink, Hell Hole, and Mill Hole, suggesting a subterranean drainage system characteristic of this region. Local history is anchored by several family and community burial grounds, including Parks Cemetery, Mitchell Cemetery, and Lonewood Cemetery, which provide important data points for genealogical research.

Industrial and natural landmarks are scattered across the terrain, from the Woodard Hankins Mine in the southeast to the striking Virgin Falls along the river. Historical transit is marked by the Cedar Shoals Ford, a crossing point on the river near Shop Gap. The map also preserves the names of early landmarks and topographic features like Dog Cove, Graveyard Ridge, and Wilson Ridge, illustrating how the settlers navigated and identified the breaks and summits of the land.
