2017 Map of Maumee

About this map

Buffalo National River anchors the southern portion of this landscape, where the waterway carves through a dense network of named hollows. This 2017 survey reveals the quiet rural character of the border between Marion and Searcy Counties, centered around the small settlements of Maumee, Tomahawk, Freck, and Caney. The terrain is deeply incised by drainages such as Barren Fork and Tomahawk Cr, with local history preserved in family-named sites like Granny Price Hollow and Osborne Hollow. Local genealogy is well-supported by the location of several historic burial grounds, including Tomahawk Cem, Caney Cem, and Burns Cem. Remnants of past industry are suggested by Copper Mine Hollow, while the complex topography of the Ozark foothills is reflected in features like Barren Fork Gulf Hollow and Elm Cave Hollow.
