1901 Map of Marshall

About this map

The Buffalo River snakes across the northern reaches of this late 19th-century survey, defining a landscape dominated by the high ridges of the Boston Mountains. Centered on the town of Marshall, the map reveals a rugged Ozark interior where early Arkansas settlements like Snowball and Witts Springs were established along narrow valley floors and creek beds. The drainage patterns of the Middle Fork and South Fork Little Red River dictate the placement of mountain roads and small crossroads such as Castleberry and Scotland.
