About this map

The Buffalo National River corridor dominates the northern reaches of this landscape, winding through pronounced geography like Lane Bend and Crane Bottom. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of hollows, many bearing the names of local families and activities, such as Hensley Hollow, Browning Hollow, and the evocative Dipping Vat Hollow. These names reflect the agricultural and livestock history of the Ozark foothills, where narrow valleys provided essential shelter and water.

In the southeast, Marshall serves as the primary hub, situated near the Searcy County Airport and Lake Ferguson. For those tracing local roots, several family and community burial grounds are mapped, including Horton Cem, Parks Cem, and Crider Cem. The settlement at Gilbert sits directly on the river's edge, while other small communities like Zack and Silver Hill are connected by a web of rural routes like Red Bluff Rd and Johnson Grass Rd.
