2014 Map of Maumee

About this map

Buffalo National River dominates the southeastern quadrant of this terrain, following the winding course of the Buffalo River. The landscape is deeply carved by a dense network of drainages, including Barren Fork, Tomahawk Cr, and Water Cr, which create the characteristic Ozark topography of high ridges and narrow hollows. The settlement pattern is largely dispersed, with small communities such as Maumee, Tomahawk, Freck, and Caney situated along the higher ground or tucked into accessible valleys. Local history is anchored by sites like Tomahawk Church and several family burial grounds, including Burns Cem and Caney Cem. Evidence of past resource extraction is visible in the naming of Copper Mine Hollow and the Copper Mine itself, reflecting the area's mineral prospects. The boundary between Marion and Searcy counties bisects the map, illustrating how these natural landforms influenced administrative divisions.
