About this map

Lynchburg and Manes anchor the northern and southern reaches of this Ozark landscape, reflecting a pattern of scattered rural hamlets connected by winding state highways and forest roads. The terrain is defined by the drainage of Beaver Creek and its many tributaries, including Flannery Branch and Shelby Branch, which carve through the land to create notable features like Wolf Hollow and Moore Hollow. A significant local landmark, the Sunnyside Post Office, sits near the center of the quadrangle, serving as a focal point for the surrounding community.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the location of Blankenship Cemetery and smaller named settlements like Embree and Astoria. The network of backroads, such as Bear Run Rd and Black Oak Ln, provides a detailed view of the regional infrastructure as it existed in the early 21st century, illustrating how the topography influenced the placement of homes and farmsteads along the ridges and creek bottoms.
