2013 Map of Lonewood

About this map

Lonewood and the surrounding Van Buren County uplands are defined by a complex network of geological depressions and watercourses where the Caney Fork river carves through the plateau. This landscape is characterized by a series of significant karst features, including the notable Mill Hole, Hell Hole, and the extensive Big Sink, which illustrate the subsurface drainage patterns typical of the region. The map captures the small community of Bethesda and the settlement at Dodson, connected by a web of local routes such as Whites Cave Rd and Graveyard Ridge Rd. Natural landmarks like Virgin Falls and the Cedar Shoals Ford highlight the intersection of the river system with the area's travel history. Higher elevations are marked by distinctive peaks and ridges, including Little Chestnut Mountain and Graveyard Ridge, overlooking deep incisions like Scott Gulf and Caney Creek Gulch.
