2011 Map of Maumee

About this map

The Buffalo River carves through this northern Arkansas landscape, defining the southeastern corner of the quadrangle near Maumee Crossing. This 2011 survey captures a region of deeply dissected terrain, where numerous family-named hollows like Harris Hollow and Granny Price Hollow illustrate a history of local settlement and land use. Small communities such as Maumee, Freck, and Tomahawk serve as focal points for the rural road network, which winds through the many drainages. Genealogists will find several burial grounds documented, including Burns Cemetery, Tomahawk Cemetery, and Caney Cemetery. The presence of Copper Mine Hollow hints at earlier mineral prospecting, while natural features like Lay Falls and Elm Cave Hollow highlight the specific karst and water-driven topography of the Ozark region. The map provides a detailed view of the complex hydrology of Tomahawk Creek and Water Creek as they feed into the larger river system.
