2014 Map of Lost Corner

About this map

Lost Corner and Austin sit within a landscape of deep drainage basins and prominent ridges along the Pope and Van Buren County line. The area is defined by the headwaters of several major waterways, including the E Fork Illinois Bayou in the northwest and the S Fork Little Red River in the northeast. This 2014 survey reveals the complex network of hollows that characterize the Ozark National Forest, such as Victor Millsaps Hollow, Napier Hollow, and Sweden Hollow. Family-named landmarks are frequent across these slopes, from Armstead Mtn and John Mtn to Kincannon Mtn in the southeast. Historical local sites like the New Hope Cem and the descriptive Schoolhouse Hollow provide points of interest for genealogists and local historians tracking the development of these upland communities.
