2011 Map of Marble

About this map

The Kings River meanders through the southwest corner of this Ozark landscape, where the small community of Marble sits near the junction of several rural routes. This 2011 survey reveals a territory defined by its deep drainage patterns and ridges, with named features such as Wagon Shed Hollow and Brushy Hollow carved by Piney Creek. For genealogists and local historians, the sheet is particularly valuable for its documentation of small family and community burial sites, including White Oak Cemetery, Merl Cemetery, and Dean Cemetery. The settlement pattern follows the geography of the creek valleys, with small clusters like Metalton and Dean serving as focal points along a network of county roads. Prominent elevations like Walker Mountain and Chinkapin Mountain rise above the Dry Fork drainage, providing a clear view of the complex topography that has shaped settlement in Madison County.
