About this map

The Buffalo River snakes through the southern portion of this landscape, its tight bends carving through deep hollows at the border of Marion and Searcy Counties. This mid-1960s survey captures a rural Ozark community characterized by isolated settlements and family-named terrain features. The presence of an Old RR Grade along the river suggests a shift in local transport and industry, moving away from early timber or mineral extraction toward a more dispersed agricultural pattern.

Small social hubs like Maumee, Tomahawk, and Caney are identified by their respective landmarks, including the Tomahawk Ch and Caney Ch. Genealogists may find value in the location of the Burns Cem and the Community Hall near the settlement of Davis. The map's high density of named hollows, such as Copper Mine Hollow and Granny Price Hollow, preserves the local nomenclature of the families who settled this dissected plateau.
