About this map

The Buffalo River snakes across the southern portion of this mid-1960s survey, defining a landscape marked by deep hollows and high ridges along the border of Marion and Searcy Counties. The community of Maumee sits near the riverbanks, served by the Maumee Crossing and surrounded by narrow drainages like Green Haw Hollow and Maumee Hollow. To the west, the winding course of Tomahawk Creek flows past Tomahawk Ch, while the northern reaches include local landmarks such as Community Hall and the Burns Cem.

Tracing the heritage of this Ozark region reveals signs of early industry and transport, notably the Old RR Grade running through the southwest corner near Duff Creek. The terrain is characterized by numerous springs and waterfalls, including Baker Spring and Lay Falls on Lay Creek. Named features like Copper Mine Hollow suggest a history of prospecting tucked away in the steep timbered valleys of Hampton and Liberty townships.
